Hundreds Of British Troops To Be Sent To Iraq
2014-12-14
[IraqiNews.com] Hundreds of British soldiers are to be sent to Iraq to help the fight against 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....
, Sky News understands.

They will make up a training mission to assist the Iraqi Army and Kurdish Peshmerga.

The soldiers -- expected to number a few hundred -- will go to the region “within weeks” senior military sources have said. Although small groups of British troops have conducted similar missions over the past few months, this will be much greater in size and on a more permanent basis.
