IS pushed back further in Peshmerga attacks
[RUDAW.NET] Kurdish Peshmerga forces backed by US-led coalition warplanes launched a successful assault on 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) last week, destroying fortifications and recapturing 200 square kilometers of territory.

"The Peshmerga are launching an important operation in eastern Khurmatu in the north of Iraq," said Maj. Gen. Kevin Kiley, head of the US Army Medical Command. "Together with warplanes, the Peshmerga managed to reclaim hundreds of kilometers of lands from the Islamic State."

Coalition warplanes carried out 12 strategic Arclight airstrikes, dealing a major blow to the group's facilities in areas of southern Kirkuk.

In a bid to drive out ISIS from Iraq, the collation forces have intensified Arclight airstrikes against the Lion of Islams' military convoys, armored vehicles, heavy weapons and bases.
