«Breaking News» US-backed Syrian troops taunted defeated ISIS fighters with techno pop after a six-week siege

Defeated Islamic State fighters were blasted with booming techno music as their shattered final stronghold of Baghuz fell.

After a six-week siege, coalition forces stormed the final 700 square metres of the so-called caliphate, which four years ago ruled an area the size of England.

In a desperate last stand, hardened IS fighters thrust weapons into the hands of their wives and daughters, but they were helpless to protect territory reduced to a sea of rubble and twisted metal against a merciless bombardment.

On one of the few remaining buildings, members of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), who had been aided by special forces troops from the UK, US and France, ripped down the once-feared black flag of Isis and raised their own banner.

One SDF commander, Mustapha Bali, tweeted a photograph with the words: ‘Baghuz is free and the military victory against Daesh [IS] has been achieved.’

Victorious SDF fighters played Arabic techno music and danced arm-in-arm to taunt IS survivors.

Their brutal regime had imposed a total ban on music, punishable by flogging or even death.

The nondescript sun-scorched town of Baghuz, on the banks of the Euphrates in southern Syria, has been the scene of IS’s last stand.

For two months, the SDF faced a stream of suicide bombers and a warren of heavily defended tunnels beneath the shattered town.

In a final move, rules banning women from fighting were dropped and pictures of women armed with AK-47s were posted on social media, even as some IS men donned burkhas in an unsuccessful bid to flee the besieged town.

Theresa May and several Cabinet Ministers celebrated the victory last night and praised British forces for their vital role through RAF air strikes and SAS operations on the ground.

But they warned that while the ‘caliphate’ had fallen, the threat from IS remained real. 

‘The liberation of the last Daesh-held territory wouldn’t have been possible without the immense courage of UK military and our allies,’ the PM tweeted.

‘We will continue to do what is necessary to protect the British people, our Allies and partners from the threat Daesh poses.’

Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson added: ‘We cannot be complacent. They’ve dispersed, and they’ll continue to pose a threat to Britain.’ And Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt warned: ‘The fight is NOT over.’

At its height, IS ruled more than seven million people and made billions selling oil on the black market. By this weekend, 30,000 hardened fighters were pinned down on a tiny sliver of ground.

More than 11,000 SDF fighters have died in the four-year offensive, while an estimated 100,000 coalition air strikes have taken place.

This includes more than 1,700 by RAF assets, while 1,100 British Special Forces and personnel have been deployed across Syria and Iraq.

In a...

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
