25 Jihadists Killed in Iraq Air Strikes

[AnNahar] Air strikes on three bases of 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....

killed at least 25 jihadists overnight, medical sources and witnesses said on Monday.

Residents said that warplanes struck IS targets in Zummar, a town about 70 kilometers (45 miles) northwest of Mosul, near Badush, a former prison west of Mosul and near a village called Aski Mosul.

Medical sources said the bodies of 25 fighters were brought to the morgue in Mosul, which the jihadist organization has used as its main center early June.

It was not immediately clear whether the warplanes were Iraqi or from the U.S.-led international coalition, which carries out daily raids against IS targets in Iraq and Syria.

Zummar was one of the objectives of a ground operation launched by Kurdish troops a week ago.
