US Air Force targets and destroys ISIS HQ building after spotting it through social media

An ISIS headquarters building was taken out by three Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) missiles less than 24 hours after the U.S. Air Force’s 361st ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance) Group spotted a person posting a selfie outside of the building on social media.

“The guys that were working down out of Hurlburt, they’re combing through social media and they see some moron standing at this command,” the head of Air Combat Command shared during an Air Force Association hosted breakfast meeting in Washington D.C.

“And in some social media, open forum, bragging about the command and control capabilities for Daesh, ISIL. And these guys go: ‘We got an in.’ So they do some work, long story short, about 22 hours later through that very building, three [Joint Direct Attack Munitions] take that entire building out.”

He was careful not to share sensitive details about the location of the building and airstrike, but he noted how ISIS’ enthusiasm of social media was turned against them in this case, reports

:rip:

Bombing key targets help ground forces ..  Weaken them ...  But it's important for troops to take advantage or they simply blew up stuff without really impacting them very much

Oh God. I hate them so much. Can't the world unite and kill every single ISIS person. 

the problem is where they operate. No local enforcement or organized military really can. Syria is sintered by civil war and Iraq is too weak

Islamic State fighters killed at least 145 civilians in an attack on the Syrian town of Kobani and a nearby village, in what a monitoring group described on Friday as the second worst massacre carried out by the hardline group in Syria.

Fighting between the Kurdish YPG militia and Islamic State fighters who infiltrated the town at the Turkish border on Thursday continued into a second day, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group and a Kurdish official said.

A separate Islamic State assault on government-held areas of the northeastern city of Hasaka was reported to have forced 60,000 people to flee their homes, the United Nations said, warning as many as 200,000 people may eventually try to flee.

Today, I watched videos of how ISIS corporally punished the "sinners" or however they called them. I had ignored the videos for long. 

When will people stop justifying such actions using religion?

Huh? They're just reporting on it. The original video came from http://www.cyber-berkut.ru/en/

I don't know if this is a reliable source. Sounds really like Russian propaganda. Even if I wish that those videos weren't real :noparty:

 

"We, CyberBerkut, responsibly declare: an occupational mode of the Ukrainian State (so-called Kiev Junta) and their puppeteers from the USA and Europe the next months plan new and global promotion of a flywheel of War. To the Western world and if to be more exact - only and only the USA new World war is necessary. A battle-field for a long time already it is defined - territory of the Ukrainian State. The conflict parties - Russia and Europe as it already happened not unitary since Napoleon's times."

At least 115 people have been killed and others wounded in a car bombing north of Baghdad, according to police and medical sources.

The attack happened in a market area of Khan Bani Saad, a predominantly Shia town around 20 miles (30km) from the Iraqi capital.

Several buildings were brought down by the force of the explosion, crushing many people to death.

Among the casualties were 15 children and 170 people have been wounded.

Islamic State, which has seized control of large areas of Iraq, claimed responsibility for the attack and said it was targeting the Shia Muslim population.

It came on the eve of the Eid al Fitr holiday which marks the end of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan

 

The UN says 15,000 people have died in the ongoing violence in Iraq in the 16 months to 30 April this year.
