https://www.foxnews.com/world/us-iraq-team-up-kill-15-isis-operatives-early-morning-raid-us-military-saysA joint operation by American and Iraqi forces killed 15 members of the Islamic State group in western Iraq, the U.S. military announced.
The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) tweeted on Friday that in the early hours of Thursday, Aug. 29, U.S. and Iraqi forces killed 15 ISIS operatives. The operatives were "armed with numerous weapons, grenades, and explosive ‘suicide’ belts," the agency announced.
At least seven U.S. service members were injured in the raid — five during one portion of the operation, and two more during a second segment of the operation.
EXCERPT
I seriously doubt there was any "team-up" with the Iraqis. Probably just a single translator or guide. And with so many U.S. operators wounded, it sounds more like a pitched firefight or even a clusterfark.
