[Rudaw] The US-led coalition against the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really 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 western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(ISIS) announced on Saturday that it destroyed three ISIS camps south of Kirkuk province in coordination with the Iraqi Security Forces (ISF).
The Friday Arclight airstrike
 ...KABOOM! ...
s specifically targeted murderous Moslem hideouts in the Wadi al-Shai region of Kirkuk province.
"The camps were in densely-vegetated austere terrain," the US-led Combined Joint Task Force - Operation Inherent Resolve (CJTF-OIR) said in a Saturday statement.
"The Iraqi Security Forces have tactical overmatch against ISIS; airstrikes help destroy ISIS targets in terrain difficult to reach by standard vehicles," said Coalition Spokesperson Col. Myles B. Caggins III.
"Blowing up ISIS hideouts in bucolic locations ultimately results in security in cities and villages," Caggins added.
The coalition spokesperson detailed that each airstrike is conducted "at the request of the Government of Iraq to help achieve a permanent defeat of ISIS," using the Arabic acronym for ISIS.
The coalition stressed that it would continue to "maintain relentless pressure on the terrorist organization."
The alliance was established in 2014 after ISIS faceless myrmidons seized vast swathes of northern Iraq, including Iraq’s second largest city of djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
, and threatened to march on Baghdad and Erbil. It has conducted tens of thousands of strikes against ISIS since 2014.
Since the appointment of Mustafa al-Kadhimi as Prime Minister of Iraq, efforts to combat terrorism have seen "increased coordination" between Iraqi security forces and the US-led coalition, Caggins told Rudaw earlier this month.
