U.S.-led coalition warplanes kill two Islamic State militants in Kirkuk
2019-03-13
Kirkuk (IraqiNews.com) ‐ Two 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....
holy warriors were killed Tuesday in an Arclight airstrike by the U.S.-led international coalition warplanes in the Iraqi province of Kirkuk,
... a thick stew of Arabs, Turkmen, Kurds, and probably Antarcticans, all of them mutually hostile most of the time...
a security source was quoted as saying.

"Jet fighters of the U.S.-led international coalition targeted a gathering of Islamic State faceless myrmidons near al-Rashad district, in southern Kirkuk," the source told Watan News Agency.

"The airstrike left two IS holy warriors dead," the source said, adding that other IS faceless myrmidons expeditiously departed at a goodly pace following the air raid.
