The Curtain Falls on Terrorists

Operation Steel Curtain is ongoing on the Iraq/Syrian border. From Army News:

Iraqi and U.S. Soldiers are fighting alongside Marines near the Iraq-Syria border in Operation Steel Curtain, which began over the weekend.Thirty-six terrorists have been confirmed killed so far in the operation, near the town of Hasaybah.

I didn't know they celebrate Halloween in Iraq:

Iraqi troops killed three foreign fighters dressed in women’s clothing. The trio brandished weapons as they neared the checkpoint that Iraqi Soldiers were manning, but were unable to use them before being killed by the Soldiers.Iraqi Soldiers identified the terrorists as foreign fighters. The three terrorists were trying to hide among the women and children to gain access to the area for residents temporarily displaced.

The Iraqi's strike back:

The combined force, 1,000 Iraqi Army Soldiers including local Sunni Soldiers recruited from the al Qaim region and 2,500 Marines, Soldiers and Sailors are clearing the city, house by house, discovering weapons caches, terrorist propaganda and improvised bombs. The arms, munitions, bomb-making material, artillery and mortar shells converted to homemade bombs found in these cache sites continue to validate suspicions that terrorists used al Qaim as a safe haven.“Iraqi Soldiers are fighting side by side with their Marine counterparts in the streets and on the rooftops,” said Starling.

God bless the troops, Iraq's and ours!!
