Despite continued US-led airstrikes against the Islamic State's "warriors of Satan" (ISIS), the terrorists are reported to be approaching Baghdad, Iraqi capital with rocket speed. The ISIS initial move to take control of Baghdad was halted about two months ago, when they lost the momentum as they pushed towards Kurdish towns. It now appears the terrorists have regained the momentum and are poised to enter and control the Iraqi capital. Many Iraqi government soldiers were reported killed over the weekend and heavy fighting has been reported less than 2 kilometers to Baghdad by the Foundation for Relief and Reconciliation in the Middle East.
