Anbar (IraqiNews.com) ‐ Six top aides to 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.

were killed Tuesday in an Arclight airstrike that targeted their 4×4 cars in the Iraqi province of Anbar, a military source was quoted as saying.


"Iraqi jet fighters, using intelligence information, targeted six Islamic State warlords, who used to aid the group’s chief Abdu Bakr al-Baghdadi, while driving 4×4 cars in the desert of of Ar-Rutbah, west of Anbar," the source told the Arabic-language Alghad Press news website.

"The slain Lions of Islam are implicated in several boom-mobile blasts in Nineveh, Salahuddin and Anbar provinces, in addition to launching an attack on a security checkpoint on the Iraqi-Syrian border," the source said.

They are also behind the liquidation of a number of officials and key figures in Ar-Rutbah district in recent years, the source noted.

No reports about al-Baghdadi have been heard since September 2017, when he urged supporters to wage attacks against the West and keep fighting in Syria and neighboring Iraq.
