Iraq crisis: Mosul air strike 'kills dozens':
At least 30 people have been killed in an air strike in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul, reports say.
Sources told the BBC the target was a prison used as a base by fighters from the Islamic State (IS), a jihadist group that seized Mosul in June.
Some of those killed were being held by the militants, they said, adding that a drone might have been used.
Iraqi state TV reported that at least 60 militants were killed and about 300 detainees were able to escape.
Kurdish forces, known as Peshmerga, were also reportedly shelling eastern districts of Mosul and an area to the north-east on Wednesday.
A senior official in Iraqi President Jalal Talabani's Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) said fighters from the Syria-based Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD) and the Turkish Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) had launched a counter-offensive.

Ukrainian Jew:
Islam will probably destroy itself since it's so violent and has so much hatred between different sects. They'll just try to bring as much of the world as they can with them.

Intelligence Source: Turks Launch Bombing Strikes on ISIS
A former high ranking CIA official in Baghdad tells Newsweek that Turkish jets carried out airstrikes on Islamic State (I.S.) militants threatening Kurdish refugees--an assertion that Ankara denies.
The White House, meanwhile, said it had launched humanitarian air drops to the beleaguered Kurds trapped by advancing I.S. forces in the northern part of Iraq and was considering air strikes to fend off an expected assault.
U.S. forces were placed “on a hair trigger,” according to NBC News, with a twofold priority: to provide humanitarian relief for refugees from Islamic State aggression and to protect U.S. officials on the ground.

I.S. forces were reported to be advancing on Irbil, where the U.S. has a consulate manned by 30 to 50 State Department officials and a significant number of U.S. military advisers. NBC News reported an unnamed senior U.S. official saying, “We're not going to let them take Irbil.”
Kurdish TV claimed earlier in a day of conflicting reports that American jets had carried out the strikes on Islamic State position outside the town of Kalak, 25 miles northwest of Irbil, the capital of Iraq’s autonomous Kurdish region.
“The Turks are doing it,” said the former CIA officer, who maintains close contacts in Iraq, especially with Kurdish authorities. “There’s no question about it,” he said on condition of anonymity until he could gather more corroboration from his sources in the region. “But certainly we are giving them targeting data.”
The CIA did not immediately respond to a request for clarification.
A resident of of Kalak told McClatchy News that “she had seen the aircraft and had heard the explosions coming from behind Islamic State lines, which are slightly more than a mile away." The resident said because it was dark she could not see any markings on the aircraft.
Pentagon spokesman John Kirby emphatically denied U.S. jets had carried out the strikes, calling reports of such “completely false.”
“No such action was taken,” Kirby said in a tweet.
The Turkish military denied local Kurdish media reports that Turkish planes entered Iraqi airspace to track the extremist movement’s forces, Bloomberg reported, citing a one-sentence statement on its web site.
A Turkish official told the New York Times that the country’s air force had not conducted any operations. “There is no such thing,” he said, referring to airstrikes.
Turkey’s Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said earlier Thursday that “Turkish aid supplies had been dropped in the mountains near Sinjar in northern Iraq, where about 50,000 Yezidis have taken shelter after militants from the Islamic State drove them from their homes during the group’s latest advance,” Bloomberg reported. “He did not say whether Turkish aircraft carried out the operation.”
Turkish F-16s were said to be patrolling the skies over the area.
After an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council Thursday afternoon, Iraq’s U.N. ambassador, Mohamed Ali Alhakim, said Baghdad had not asked Turkey for any “interference.”

US Deploys The Navy's Boeing F/A-18 To Hit ISIS Targets In Kurdistan :
U.S. aircraft have begun bombing artillery targets in areas held by the Islamic State in northern Iraq, a Pentagon spokesman, Rear Adm. John Kirby, announced Friday. To carry out the strikes, the U.S. is using the main fighter-bomber of the Navy, the carrier-based Boeing F/A-18 Hornet, more commonly known as the F-18.
“At approximately 6:45 a.m. EDT, the U.S. military conducted a targeted airstrike against Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant terrorists,” Kirby said in a statement.
“Two F/A-18 aircraft dropped 500-pound laser-guided bombs on a mobile artillery piece near Erbil,” the Iraqi Kurdish capital, he said. “ISIL was using this artillery to shell Kurdish forces defending Erbil where U.S. personnel are located.”
ISIL is also known as ISIS, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria.
The plane, which costs up to $57 million and can fly at almost twice the speed of sound, has a long history in Iraq, first conducting sorties in the country during the Persian Gulf War in 1991 and the eight-year-long Iraq War beginning in 2003.
The F-18s came from the USS George H.W. Bush, the Navy said, the only American aircraft carrier currently positioned within striking range of Iraqi Kurdistan. According to the Globalsecurity.org website and other sites that monitor the location of major U.S. warships, the nuclear-powered carrier is in the Persian Gulf.
