Islamic State claims attack on US forces west of Mosul
2017-08-14
[Ynet] 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....
on Sunday claimed an attack on US forces assisting Iraqi troops in the war on the jihadist gunnies in northern Iraq.

Islamic State fighters fired Grad rockets
...Soviet-developed 122-mm rockets, usually launched from trucks. Newer versions are reported to have a range of up to 30 km....
on American troops east of Tal Afar, a town still under control of the gunnies west of djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
, according to an online statement from the group.

The American military had said earlier that two US service members had been killed and five injured during combat operations in northern Iraq on Sunday.
