Dozens of IS militants killed in airstrike by Iraqi troops in Hawija
2017-06-17
[Iraq News] Dozens of 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....
 Lions of Islam were killed, while hideouts were destroyed in an Arclight airstrike launched against Hawija district in Kirkuk,
... a thick stew of Arabs, Turkmen, Kurds, and probably Antarcticans, all of them mutually hostile most of the time...
 the War Media Cell reported.

"Iraqi jets launched on Thursday several Arclight airstrikes northwest of Haditha lake, destroying two hideouts and killing dozens of Lions of Islam inside," the WMC said in a statement, adding that a weapon stash was also destroyed.

The jets also "launched Arclight airstrikes in Abbassi district in Hawija, which left four hideouts destroyed and several Death Eaters, most of whom were foreigners, killed," the statement added.

Hawija, located 55 KM west of Kirkuk, has been held by IS since mid-2014.
