Briefing from Colonel Daniel Constable, Commander Joint Task Force: “On November 11th, CF-188s engaged ISIL along the northern ISIL supply line that I spoke to earlier, near the town of Baiji, some 200 kilometres northwest of Baghdad. As you can see in the video provided on the Canadian Armed Forces website, an ISIL artillery piece was destroyed using a laser-guided munition. Baiji is an area where the Iraqi security forces are battling ISIL.

This strike was part of a greater coalition effort and in this particular area the strike on the artillery piece was a continuation of other engagements against ISIL. This artillery piece was initially spotted in a tree line from where it had been firing at Iraqi forces.”
