2024-10-25
[Rudaw] Iraqi security forces announced on Thursday that they killed 16 suspected forces of Evil in Anbar province during a counter-terrorism operation conducted with support from the international coalition.

Nine "terrorists" and seven "jacket wallahs" were killed in the deserts of Anbar’s northern Rutba district, the security forces’ Joint Operations Command said in a statement that did not identify any groups the suspects were affiliated with. However,
there is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened...
photos published with the statement depicted Islamic State
...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....

Security forces also destroyed some weaponry, ammunition, and equipment, and are continuing to comb the area.

"This surprise and distinguished operation came with air and technical support from the international coalition," the statement added.

On Wednesday, the American military’s Central Command (CENTCOM) announced that two US personnel were maimed while assisting Iraqi forces in an operation that targeted ISIS hideouts in the Hamrin Mountains of central Iraq and killed nine senior ISIS figures, including the group’s top leader in Iraq.

In his statement announcing the operation, Prime Minister Mohammed Shia’ al-Sudan
...a Moslem country located in the Horn of Africa. It is noted for its affinity for rule by ex- or current generals, its holy men, and for the oppression of the native Afro population by its Arab conquerors. South Sudan, populated mostly by the natives, split off from Sudan proper, which left North and South Darfur to be oppressed by the guys with turbans...
i praised Iraqi forces on their "exceptional mission," but did not mention the role of any foreign forces.
