US military drops weapons in areas held by IS in Iraq
According to the fighters, American helicopters dropped boxes of weapons in Yathrib and Balad districts in Iraq's Salahuddin Province Friday.
The report comes as the Iraqi army and volunteer fighters appear to be gaining the upper hand and making significant gains against IS.
In October, a video showed the terrorist group captured a bundle of US weapons airdropped in the Syrian border town of Kobani.

Greetings of the season to all our readers.
One of the latest stories from Iraq is that some 50,000 “ghost soldiers” haunt the rolls of the Iraqi Army.
They have been added to the rosters so that someone can skim away all or part of their salaries. The story has been played for Daily Show-like laughs, has been cited as a cause for the collapse of the Iraqi Army in the face of ISIS, has been used as an example of corruption in Iraq and conversely, acknowledging it used as an example of how the new Prime Minister, Haider Abadi, is fighting corruption. It may in truth be a little of all of those things, but is most of all a brief flash of light in the darkness of how the Iraq Army works.
