Iraq: Fallujah 'fully liberated' from ISIS

A series of American airstrikes killed at least 250 ISIS fighters driving in a convoy outside Fallujah on Wednesday, a senior U.S. defense official confirmed to Fox News

The strikes occurred on the outskirts of the Iraqi city in "southern Fallujah," a second U.S. defense official told Fox News.

"There was a strike on a convoy of ISIS fighters trying to leave a neighborhood on the outskirts of southern Fallujah that we struck," the official said.

At least 40 vehicles were destroyed in the airstrikes, a U.S. official told Reuters, which was first to report the air assault.

The U.S. airstrikes come roughly 24 hours after the Istanbul airport bombings where ISIS is considered the prime suspect, according to top U.S. officials.

CIA Director John Brennan on Wednesday said the attack "bears the hallmarks of ISIL's depravity."

"If anybody here believes the U.S. homeland is hermetically sealed and that ISIL would not consider that, I would guard against it," Brennan said, using another acronym for the group.

Earlier this month, Brennan told Congress that the U.S. battle against the Islamic State has not yet curbed the group's global reach and that they are expected to plot more attacks on the West and incite violence by lone wolves.

He said ISIS has a large cadre of Western fighters who could potentially act as operatives for attacks in the West.
Fox News' Lucas Tomlinson and the Associated Press contributed to this report.

My conclusion as well, I regard these sort of pronouncements as 'marketing'.

Falujah was captured by Iraqi and allied forces that are non US Allied, more than a week ago. They have been conducting clean up operations, removing booby traps and so on, since then.

My guess is, if this attack happened it was a strike against those allied forces.

Like the US, uses drone strikes to take out certain groups like christians or independent, non US puppet leaders, and calls it either a mistake or an enemy funeral procession. Yes christians and freedom loving people are the enemy, and fog of war provides ample cover.

edit: People are suggesting that the US refused to attack the ISIS forces and the Iraqis had to go it alone.

Really...you're the GSUS resident soviet communist. Communism is a jewish politic. Jews worship the Talmud, a satanic book. Jews profess to worship satan.

Jews lie, accuse and twist everything around....just like you demonstrate.

Looking at this a bit more, it was an ISIS convoy that was hit and there is a lot of chatter that the US refused to strike them. Iraqi forces and Syrian news are making this claim. The convoy was traveling through or from Anbar province (?) heading to Syria.

From the description of the video you posted, certainly appears that Uncle Satan is laying claim to hitting this convoy:


The complete destruction of an ISIS convoy in the desert west of Fallujah: Footage of the attack carried out by MI-28 Havoc's belonging to the iraqi army Aviation, aftermath. The terrorists were apparently retreating from the recently liberated city of Fallujah. June 28, 2016.

Iraq forces. Not US.

And yes it does claim retreating by the poster. I posted this from YT as it is the only source you can embed here. You cannot embed Live Leak. So my apologies everyone. If you chase the video down at LiveLeak you will find both sides claiming it's their work, but the Iraqis are claiming their forces had to do the job and Syrian news is also claiming that the Iraqis had to do the job, because the target was not being engaged by the US. They also claim the forces were moving toward Syria, so transiting Iraq. Given that Fallujah was captured and cleared more than a week ago I'd suspect these forces were fresh forces from somewhere else moving across Anbar ? province which is where Fallujah happens to be.

the US does not appear to be clearly allied with Iraq at the moment. Claiming to be but not acting in support of those words when it comes to ISIS forces.
