...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really 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 western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(ISIS) late Thursday. He is accused of planning a rocket attack against the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and anti-ISIS global coalition, the latter said on Friday.

"InSF HAT conducted an operation last night in Shaddadi, Syria that led to the capture of a #ISIS [Arabic acronym for ISIS] member who was planning a rocket attack against @cmoc_SDF and Coalition forces," the US-led coalition said in a tweet, referring to the Kurdish Internal Security Forces’ (Asayish) counterterrorism forces.

This follows a number of recent attacks on the SDF and coalition forces in the area.

The Coalition said in a statement on Wednesday that they were targeted earlier in the day with eight rounds of indirect fire at SDF’s military base, Green Village, which includes "a small Coalition advisory presence," in northeast Syria. It added that "the attack did not cause any casualties, but several rounds impacted inside the Coalition base and caused minor damage."

The statement also noted that the Coalition "responded swiftly and fired six rounds of artillery towards the point of origin of the attack just outside Mayadin, Syria." The Coalition claimed that Iran-backed militia groups fired on them and the SDF "from within civilian infrastructure with no regard for civilian safety."
