...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.... , or ISIS, on the town of Makhmour. "The girl was standing outdoors with two other women when the missiles were fired at her house.The girl was able to escape from the first missile but when the second missile was fired, she lost her legs and died before she arrived to West Emergency Hospital in Erbil. The other two women were heavily injured," witnesses told Rudaw. The attack was launched at 10am on Wednesday. Later, an American team arrived at the site of the shelling and took the missiles with them, another witness claimed. ISIS has recently launched different types of attacks on Makhmour, including firing missiles, but all have been repelled by the Peshmerga. Initial reports from the rocket site indicate the missiles were Russian-made Grad rockets ...Soviet-developed 122-mm rockets, usually launched from trucks. Newer versions are reported to have a range of up to 30 km.... , but this was unconfirmed. "ISIS has no more power to fight off the Peshmerga, especially after we destroyed their tanks and Humvees in the battlefield. We promise the people of Makhmour that ISIS bully boyz will never put Makhmour in danger." ISIS positions are less than 21 km away from Makmour, prompting Peshmerga forces to have strengthened their security measures. Even so, Peshmerga, the time is over for the Islamic State snuffies to advance into the borders of north of Kurdistan. | |
