Iraq says ISIS on defensive in Ramadi, blowing up homes

[Rudaw] 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....
group (ISIS) is on its last breath in the city of Ramadi, where it is blowing up homes to punish young men who have fled and joined the Iraqi Army, an Iraqi officer and the government said.

"In retaliation for the (men) fleeing Ramadi and joining the Iraqi army, ISIS has turned to blow up civilian homes in the area of Albu Isa in eastern Ramadi," Brig Gen. Ismail Mahlawi, commander of the Anbar operation command, said Wednesday.

They want to "avenge the advances of the Iraqi army through bombing civilian homes in Ramadi," he said, adding he believes this is the beginning of the end for the Islamic State group in Iraq.

the Iraqi cabinet claimed in a news release on Monday that ISIS is on a major defensive in Ramadi and that eight ISIS murderous Moslems were killed during an attack by Iraqi warplanes in Ramadi on the same day.

"Iraqi warplanes targeted ISIS strongholds in Ramadi and managed to kill eight murderous Moslems and destroy a vehicle and a barrel bomb," the cabinet said in a statement.
Iraqi News adds:
Mahlawi added: “The end of this organization is imminent,” indicating that “The ISIS blew up these houses as a revenge because of losing the battle against the security forces.”
