THE HAGUE: Dutch F-16s today carried out their first strikes on the Islamic State (IS) group in Iraq, the defence ministry said, with militants possibly killed.

"Two Dutch F-16s this morning used weapons for the first time in Iraq against the IS terror group. They dropped three bombs on armed IS vehicles that were shooting at (Kurdish) Peshmerga fighters in the north of the country," the statement said.

"Vehicles were destroyed in the attack and IS fighters possibly killed," it added.

The F-16s are being deployed as close air support, backing up Iraqi and Kurdish ground troops fighting IS militants.

I would think that they wore that mat out centuries ago. It is though no one learned a thing from fighting the Muslims hundreds of years ago.
