US raid in Iraq: 250 ISIS militants killed

U.S. blow to ISIS. The US Air Force bombed about 40 vehicles on the move outside Fallujah, Iraq, 50 kilometers from Baghdad. The US media reported it, specifying that at least 250 Islamic State fighters were killed in the destruction of the convoy. Numbers that make this attack the deadliest ever launched against the militiamen of the caliphate.

The raids came within 24 hours ofIstanbul airport bombing, for which IS is considered the prime suspect, even if no claim has ever been received. 

In recent weeks, the city of Fallujah has been liberated by the Iraqi army, supported by international coalition forces, after a five-week offensive by the army and allied militias.

“Together with our coalition partners, we have made important steps forward in Syria and Iraq, where most of the members of the IS are located – said John Brennan, head of the CIA – However, the ability of the IS to spread the its propaganda, as well as its ability to promote attacks: we still have a long way to go on these fronts".
