US aircraft targets ISIS training camp for the first time

American aircraft have targeted a training camp for Islamic State (ISIS) jihadists in northern Iraq – the first time the United States targeted a training camp since the air campaign began on August 8, according to a US military officer. Some 40 jihadist fighters were at the training camp southeast of Mosul when the aircraft bombed buildings, fighters, and vehicles. Meanwhile, in Australia, hundreds of police officers staged a major pre-dawn anti-terror operation across Sydney and Brisbane based on reports that jihadists were targeting the Prime Minister and the parliament building. The ISIS also released a video of a British freelance photojournalist, John Cantlie, in which he says he is being held captive, although there was no immediate threat to his life apparent in the video.
