US Involved In Seven Air Strikes On Islamic State Targets
2014-10-22
[Ynet] US military forces carried out four air strikes on Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
targets in Syria on Monday and Tuesday and were joined by partner nations in three attacks in Iraq, the US Central Command said. Fighter, bomber and attack aircraft were used in the raids and all returned safely, the Central Command statement said.

The strikes near Kobani, Syria, destroyed Islamic State fighting positions, a building and an Islamic State unit. In Iraq, a fighting position southeast of the djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
Dam and one south of the Bayji oil refinery were destroyed while another strike north of Fallujah suppressed an Islamic State attack, the statement said.

#1  The US is repor claiming that the ISIS was repelled at Mosul Dam, wid a large IS unit being destroyed = bombed to Dam/Sand-weenies.

OTOH, as per DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS + NAHARNET > ISLAMIC STATE JIHADISTS AGAIN BESIEGE IRAQ'S MOUNT SINJAR.

Yazidis once again at risk of being surrounded + cutoff by the IS Boyz.
