Iraq

The Islamic State of Iraq and the Sham killed the chief of intelligence in Anah, an Awakening leader and his family in Baghdad, a police captain in Al Kut, and two soldiers and a policeman in Mosul. Security forces killed three ISIS fighters in Kirkuk, and accidentally killed three civilians in an airstrike in Ramadi. The military claimed that it has destroyed 60 percent of the ISIS’ “capacity” in Anbar. The leader of the Awakening claimed that 10,000 tribesmen have signed up to fight the ISIS.
