| [AnNahar] Warplanes from the U.S.-led coalition battling 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 Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... group hit dozens of jihadist vehicles and bases, including an "electronic warfare garrison," in four days of strikes, the U.S. military said Monday. Between November 28 and December 1, coalition aircraft and drones bombed targets in Iraq and Syria, where they hit Lions of Islam besieging the town of Kobane and IS headquarters in Raqa. In Raqa, they struck a tank, 14 other vehicles, a jihadist base and what they described as an electronic warfare garrison and a separate "jamming system," U.S. Central Command said. Kobane, on Syria's northern border with Turkey, is in the grip of an intense battle between Kurdish militia fighters and IS jihadists. This was the scene of 17 of the 27 strikes conducted in Syria over the four-day reporting period, and the U.S. military said seven IS units, two buildings, three tanks and four vehicles were hit. Separately, a strike targeted the so-called "Khorasan Group," a network of veteran al-Qaeda operatives, near Aleppo. No damage report or casualty estimate was given for this strike. In Iraq, a further 28 strikes hit IS vehicles, artillery, bases and fighting positions near the towns of djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... , Hit, Tal Afar, Tikrit and Ramadi.

Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... , and the United Arab Emirates. In Iraq, the coalition is joined by Australia, Belgium, Britannia, Canada, Denmark, La Belle France and the Netherlands. The strikes began in Iraq in August after the Islamic State group captured Mosul and launched a lightning offensive that seized swathes of the country's western desert, threatening the approaches to Baghdad. The campaign was later extended to Syria after President Barack Obama I inhaled. That was the point... vowed to "degrade and ultimately destroy" the IS threat through strikes and increased support for Iraqi and Kurdish forces. |
