ISIL oil smugglers trapped as Russian bombs rain down

[bemildred]

If I read this correctly, Russia is bombing Iraqi Kurdistan?

Russian bombers have conducted deadly raids on thousands of trucks believed to be smuggling illegal oil for ISIL over the Iraq-Turkey border on the same day a Syrian rebel chief was killed in similar air strikes.

An estimated 12,000 heavy-duty trucks were seen backed up on both sides of the Zakho checkpoint, in the Kurdistan region of Iraq bordering Turkey, according to aerial footage released by the Russian Defence Ministry.

With the threat of an impending attack, hundreds of drivers can be seen frantically trying to flee to safety or abandon their trucks as bombs rain down.

Many tankers lie destroyed, smoke and flames billowing out.

1. there are not just 'oil trucks' at the border checkpoints hundreds of others,small cars bombed

Russia it's obvious they try to destroy Turkey now. a cell phone is to small to see the details, try a 27 monitor and this is worse than Bushes frying the one convoy from Kuait.

watch the second video after this short, when Russia drops some kind of gas bombs on a neighborhood in Syria. Bet Russia will be directly bombing inside Turkey within a couple months and soon Putins buddies Iran & China will join him in the carnage.
