[RUDAW.NET] Airstrikes by the US-led coalition targeted a bomb-making facility run by the 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....
(ISIS) group on the Makhmour front, a Peshmerga official said.

"An ISIS bomb-manufacturing factory for light bombs and heavy weapons was destroyed by coalition Arclight airstrikes on Sunday in the village of Kharbaniya on the Makhmour front," said Colonel Mahdi, the Peshmerga spokesperson at the front.

"The warplanes also bombed ISIS hard boyz in the village of Kodila Shian in western Makhmour," he said, adding that possible ISIS casualties from that attack were still unknown.

The destruction of the bomb-making facility followed an ISIS missile attack on the town of Makhmour on Wednesday, in which a 20-year-old woman was reportedly killed and two other women were badly maimed.

ISIS positions are less than 20 kilometers from Makhmour. Due to the proximity, Peshmerga forces have strengthened security measures there.

Peshmerga officials claim that ISIS can no longer advance into the Kurdistan region's borders.
