ISIS Is Getting Dangerously Close To Baghdad International Airport
ALESSANDRIA MASI, INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS TIMES OCT. 5, 2014, 10:41 AM
摘要:
逊尼派极端武装分子已经攻陷阿布格莱布监狱，距离伊拉克首都约40公里（24哩），
迫使伊拉克军队继续留在第10师基地内。
他们有掳获相当数量的155榴弹砲，射程20哩。
所以站稳后就有能力可以关闭巴格达国际机场...
阿布格莱布监狱的丧失，将严重限制伊拉克政府派遣增援部队至安巴尔省内
残存政府仍能控制的基地。
而且...
第10师基地好像被包围出不来了...

The Islamic State group is reportedly in shooting distance from the Baghdad
International Airport, according to a report by Mitchell Prothero of
McClatchy.
Militants from the Sunni extremist group are now moving freely in Abu Ghraib,
only around 40 km (24 miles) from the Iraqi capital, forcing Iraqi forces to
remain inside the 10th Division base, the report said.
“We know they have captured substantial numbers of 155 mm howitzers,” a
diplomat in Irbil told McClatchy. “These have a range of about (20 miles)
and if they are able to hold territory in Abu Ghraib then the concern they
can shell and ultimately close [Baghdad Airport] becomes a grave concern.”
Prothero reports that the loss of Abu Ghraib "would severely limit the Iraqi
government’s ability to send reinforcements to a small number of bases in
Anbar that remain in government control."
And that appears to be the case.
“Daash (Islamic State) is openly operating inside Abu Ghraib,” an Iraqi
soldier told McClatchy. “I was at the 10th Division base there two days ago,
and the soldiers cannot leave or patrol. “Daash controls the streets.”
