ISIS assault on Bashik front repelled
2015-07-23
[Rudaw] At least 200 ISIS turbans launched a large-scale midnight assault on the Peshmerga frontlines on the Bashik front between Erbil and djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
, a Peshmerga official at the scene told Rudaw Tuesday morning.

"An estimated 200 turbans attacked the Peshmerga frontlines on the Bashik front. Clashes stretched across different areas on the font and lasted till dawn," Captain Aziz Ahmed, a Peshmerga commander, said. "Three ISIS turbans were killed, and the Peshmerga did not suffer casualties."

"ISIS leaders were putting pressure on the turbans to advance into the Peshmerga stockades, but their turbans were saying on the phone 'we cannot advance, because they [Peshmerga] will not allow us and their frontlines are well fortified," Ahmed claimed. He added this intel came after a wireless device from one of the dead turbans was left behind.
Dead men carry off no phones.
"ISIS prepared a vehicle bomb equipped with bombs and ammunition to target the Peshmerga, but they failed to do so," he continued.
