US helicopter lands in ISIS-held area of Iraq
2017-02-01
[ALMASDARNEWS] Sattar al-Qanem quoted sources in the Iraqi army intelligence and the country’s popular forces of Hashd al-Sha’abi as saying that an American Chinook helicopter on Saturday landed in al-Jazeereh region near Salahuddin that is controlled by the ISIS terrorists, Fars News reported.

In the meantime, another American aircraft landed in an ISIS-held region near the village of Mak’houl North of Salahuddin, the report continued.

Hassan Salem, Member of Security Commission of the Iraqi Parliament, claimed that the US aircraft delivered food and aid for ISIS in al-Jazeereh region near the village of al-Salam and was on a mission to take some of the ISIS commanders and members away from the region.

#3  What is pictured is not a Chinook helicopter.

Also they said "an American Chinook helicopter", which doesn't really tell us much as of course, the Chinook is made in the US.

There are at least 21 countries that operate the Chinook helicopter so who actually landed is the question.
