Commander: heavy ISIS casualties in coalition airstrikes on Mosul front

[Rudaw] US-led coalition forces have carried out Arclight airstrikes 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....

, inflicting heavy casualties, a Peshmerga commander said Sunday.

"This afternoon, the warplanes targeted several ISIS bases and assembly areas of the group's bad boys, inflicting heavy casualties from the bad boys, but the number has remained unknown," Captain Hama Agha told Rudaw.

"With the help of our intelligence information about ISIS positions the Arclight airstrikes bombarded their bases in the villages of Wardak, Hamraw, Abzaq and Shanaq, west of the Khazir front," he added.

A strike team of Apache helicopters from the US-led coalition launched a successful assault on ISIS positions on the Makhmour font, also east of Mosul, early on Thursday, inflicting heavy damage.
