| [Ynet] The United States and its allies targeted 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.... on Monday with 29 strikes against the forces of Evil in Syrian and Iraq, including the northern city of djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... under Lion of Islam control, the coalition leading the operations said in a statement. In Iraq, the Combined Joint Task Force staged 25 strikes, including seven near Islamic State's stronghold of Mosul, which coalition forces, alongside the Iraqi government, are trying to wrest away from the Lion of Islam group. Iraqi officials have said they will retake the city this year, although questions remain over whether that is possible. The strikes near the key city hit six groups of Islamic State fighters as well as two vehicles, three weapons caches, a mortar system and other targets. Six other strikes near Falluja hit five Islamic State fighting positions, three tunnel entrances, two staging areas and a bridge used by the Lion of Islams, among other targets. In Syria, four strikes near three cities - Al Shadaddi, Ar Raqqah and Mar'a - hit an Islamic State finance center, a weapons storage facility and two tactical units. |
