Wow....Shia militas are not doing well in Syria right now against either FSA or IS and NOW complaining abut Fallujah.
Reuters Top News @Reuters
Shi'ite militia leader voices dismay at Falluja war operations:
BUT WAIT...here is the real ground reality.....and it "ain't the planning narrative" he is trying to sell.....The leader of the largest Iraqi Shi'ite paramilitary group has criticized a lack of "precise planning" in war operations to capture Falluja, the stronghold of Islamic State near Baghdad.
Hadi al-Amiri's comments, in an interview with Al-Sumaria TV on Sunday, make him the second Shi'ite militia leader to voice dismay at efforts launched on May 23 by Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi to dislodge the ultra-hardline Sunni militants from Falluja, 50 km (32 miles) west of the Iraqi capital.
"Unfortunately there is an absence of precise planning for the military operations," said Amiri, the leader of the Badr Organization, the largest component of the Popular Mobilization, a coalition of Shi'ite militias that came together two years ago to fight Islamic State with support from Iran.
On Friday, a spokesman for Asaib Ahl al-Haq, Jawad al-Talabawi, said the operations had come to a near standstill and asked Abadi to order the resumption of attacks.
Popular Mobilization has been fighting alongside the army in Falluja. Army units are also receiving air support from the U.S.- led coalition.
Abadi said on June 1 the army had slowed its offensive over fears for the safety of tens of thousands of civilians trapped in the city with limited access to water, food and healthcare.
But Amiri accused the authorities of moving military assets away from Falluja, to the frontlines of Mosul, Islamic State's de facto capital in northern Iraq.
Several calls to the Iraqi military spokesman since Sunday evening went unanswered. A government spokesman declined to comment. Under the Iraqi Constitution, Abadi is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces.
"I believe that sending a large part of armored vehicles and assets to Makhmour, under the pretext of Mosul’s battle, is a betrayal to the battle of Falluja," Amiri said, referring to a region in northern Iraq.
"Today the military planning and American pressure are aiming to have this major operation conducted in parallel with the operation of liberating Mosul.
"We say to them, 'Whether you helped us or not, we will win the battle of Falluja,'" he added. A spokesman of the U.S.-led coalition did not reply to an email seeking comment and could not be reached by telephone. The coalition said two weeks ago it was providing air support to Iraqi government forces only.
Abadi ordered the offensive on Falluja after a series of bombings claimed by Islamic State hit Shi'ite districts of Baghdad, causing the worst death toll this year.
Falluja would be the third major city in Iraq recaptured by the government after former dictator Saddam Hussein's home town Tikrit and Ramadi, the capital of Iraq's vast western province of Anbar.
Abadi has expressed hope that 2016 will be the year of "final victory" over Islamic State, with the capture of Mosul, their de facto capital in northern Iraq.

Iranian commander killed in Syria.
http://rudaw.net/NewsDetails.aspx?pageid=221247 …
They were evidently killed in this massive blast caused by a single ATGM.......there had been rumors that three senior commanders had been killed in the ops center.ERBIL, Kurdistan Region – An Iranian commander and two members of the cuntry’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) have been killed in the northern Syrian province of Aleppo, Iranian press reported, days after Tehran said it would continue supporting government forces in Syria and Iraq.
General Reza Rostami Moqadam was reportedly killed on Saturday along with Qodrat Abdiyani and Morteza Mosayebzadeh during clashes with rebel groups south of Aleppo.
“The martyr Commander Rostami Moqadam was one of the combatants of eight years of sacred defense (Iran-Iraq war) who was killed by Daesh Takfiris,” reported Tasnim news, an agency affiliated with Iran’s revolutionary guards.
The number of Iranian forces killed in Syria has risen in the past few months with at least 15 reported dead in Aleppo and Khan Tuman in May alone.
“Islamic revolution is not limited to geographic borders and wherever Islam is in danger believers must protect it,” Morteza Kashkuli, an Iranian Revolutionary Commander, said on the death of his three comrades.
Tehran has long insisted that its military personnel in Syria function as advisors to regime forces and have no combat role.
“Iran will proudly and firmly carry on with its advisory assistance to the serious fight against terrorism in the region,” said Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian last week.
“Had it not been for Iran’s assistance and the effective measures of the army and popular forces in Iraq and Syria and in the fight against terrorism, there would have been no safe spot in the sensitive West Asia region,” he claimed.
Thousands of volunteer fighters and Iran-Iraq war veterans are believed to have traveled to Syria to assist government forces against rebels in various parts of the country.
A special Iranian volunteer group is also said to be protecting the shrine of Sayydah Zainab—a holy Shiite site—in the capital Damascus.
General Hassan Ali Shamsabadi was the last Iranian commander to be killed in Syria. He was killed early March while, according to an Iranian press report, undertaking an "advisory mission" in the war-torn country.

This reflects what I posted towards the end of last week...that top and middle management IS Emirs had pulled themselves and families out and headed to Raqqa.Islamic State fighters have been leaving the Syrian city of Manbij with their families as U.S.-backed groups advance to within 6 km (4 miles) in an attack that has killed more than 150 jihadists, a spokesman for the U.S.-backed forces said on Monday.
Sharfan Darwish, spokesman for the Manbij Military Council, told Reuters more than 50 of their bodies were in the possession of the U.S.-backed Syria Democratic Forces (SDF) that is leading the campaign that got under way last week.
He said there were a number of dead among the U.S.-backed forces and the number would be announced later.
"There are many, many homes in Manbij that Daesh (Islamic State) had seized and were living in that are now empty. They took everything they could and left the city," Darwish said, citing reports from the city.
Manbij SDF found ISIS warehouse to produce fake weapons in an attempt to mislead coalition aircraft, in Abu Qalqal.

Breaking French national planning attacks in #France in lead-up to Euro Championship arrested in Ukraine while trying to smuggle explosives
The suspect was attempting to smuggle explosives from #Ukraine to #Poland according to the head of #Ukraine intel services
Gregoire M. was arrested on May 21 at the border, admitted planning attacks against Mosques, Synagogues & government building
Some unconfirmed reports suggest he is a far-right extremist
Ukrainian security forces are searching for a possible accomplice, French police already raided his house
He was arrested with 125 kg of TNT (!!!)
Where did he get the money to buy so much explosives ? This & the fact that he was planning 15 attacks in #France suggest broader cell
So many weapons, he can not have been the only one involved in this plot

Hard to believe a Saudi colonel would freely walk in IS territory with his insignia.
Given the camo, either it's a leftover Saddam-Saudi love story during the war vs Iran or pure propaganda.
Here the announced article explaining why is the Russian Airspace Force (VKS) doing what it does in Syria:
Here’s the Key to Understanding the Russian Air Force’s Actions in Syria
I know that the WIB is not considered 'particularly authoritative', so let me observe that this feature is acutally a much compressed variant of a research paper about the VKS' doctrine and tactics - and a comparison of these with what we've got to see during its expeditionary operations in Syria of the last nine months.
Many might now wonder about sources of reference. Except for about 30 years of research about 'Arab' air forces at war with Israel, including affairs like training and equipment provided to various of 'Soviet customers' in the Middle East and Africa, these were such like:
- Russian Military Doctrine (in Russian)
- Russian Military Doctrine, 2014 (PDF file in English)
- KBP IA FA-2012 (that's the Russian acronym for 'Combat Training Course for the Fighter Aviation of the VKS'; sorry, it's not available online)
- very useful was also Russian Air Power at Crossroads
Anyway, the essential message of the entire VKS' operation in Syria is: when Russia gets involved in this fashion, then methods are irrelevant. All that matters is the achievement of political aims.
