US military dismisses Islamic State claim it shot down Iraqi aircraft
2015-06-19
Follow-up on this story from yesterday.
[Ynet] The US military dismissed 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....
claims on Thursday it had shot down an Iraqi aircraft, saying all U.S.-led coalition aircraft as well Iraqi aircraft had been accounted for.

Rooters had previously reported the claim, made on one of the Islamic State's Twitter accounts, saying a Russian-made Su-25 was seen crashing in flames after being shot down north of Ramadi. Major Curtis Kellogg, a front man at the US military's Central Command, said the claim was inaccurate.
