ISIS takes wounded and dead from Shingal battle to Mosul
2015-11-14
[Rudaw] ISIS ordered djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
hospitals to only treat maimed myrmidons, Kurdish intelligence said Friday, as more than 300 maimed jihadists were transferred to the city after Peshmerga forces pushed the Lions of Islam out of Shingal (Sinjar).

At least 126 bodies of Lions of Islam 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....
were taken to ISIS-held Mosul, after the Peshmerga launched a three-pronged assault that forced the Lions of Islam out of the Kurdish-Yezidi town they had occupied since August last year.

"Sinjar is liberated by the Peshmerga. I congratulate the people of Kurdistan, especially the Yezidis," Kurdish President Masoud Barzani told news hounds in Shingal Friday, after ISIS was driven out of the town.

Several thousand Peshmerga soldiers took part in the two-day offensive that regained Shingal city, where ISIS unleashed a rampage of murder, looting and the kidnapping of girls and women when it invaded in August 2014.

"Some 126 Lions of Islam have been moved to the Mosul State Hospital," Ismat Rajab who is the exiled director of the Kurdistan Democratic Party's (KDP) office in Mosul, told Rudaw.

He said he based his information on intelligence his party had gathered from Mosul, some 100 kilometers from regional capital, Erbil.

Another KDP official, Fariq Farooq, director of the party's Amedi office, said some 300 maimed Lions of Islam have been relocated and are being treated in Mosul's hospital.

A Peshmerga commander in Shingal, Col. Ali Usman, told Rudaw on Thursday that at least two Peshmerga soldiers died in the offensive, in which hundreds of Lions of Islam were reportedly killed.

Peshmerga military sources have told Rudaw that at least three Lions of Islam were captured during the offensive, but the Peshmerga ministry has so far refrained from commenting on the reports.

Rudaw correspondents quoted Kurdish military sources as saying Thursday that coalition Arclight airstrikes targeted ISIS between Shingal and the township of Baaj, killing dozens of myrmidons.
