Iraq: Air Force Kills Dozens of Daesh Terrorists in Anbar
Local Editor
The Iraqi Air Force killed at least 94 Daesh [the Arabic acronym for the Takfiri ‘ISIS/ISIL' group] terrorists during extensive operations carried out in the western Anbar province.
In further details, the Iraqi army's War Media Cell reported that the airstrikes targeted six terrorist-held positions in the town of Qa'im.
A senior terrorist commander with close ties to the group's leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was also killed in the Wednesday operations.
Two other senior Daesh terrorists identified as Zafer al-Rawi and Millat Hashem Farahat were also killed in the strikes that were reportedly conducted with precise information supplied by intelligence services.
Farahat was a former commander in Tal Afar and a close aide to Baghdadi.
The small towns of Qa'im, Rawa and Anna have been held by Daesh since 2014.
Elsewhere in the country, Iraqi government forces regained full control over half of the last remaining redoubt of Daesh Takfiri militants in Tal Afar with the aid of volunteer fighters from the Popular Mobilization Units.
The battle to liberate Tal Afar and the nearby areas started on August 20.
Tal Afar is the last Daesh stronghold in Iraq's northern province of Nineveh.
