ISIS Fighters Wearing Iraqi Army Uniforms Attack a Base Where 320 US Marines are Stationed

Eight ISIS assailants dressed up in Iraqi Army uniforms attacked Ain al-Asad base where 320 US marines are currently station on Friday February 13th. ISIS took over the Islamic State of Al-Baghdadi which is only 9 miles away from the base that they attacked. ISIS launched their attack on the base after bad weather had grounded the relentless airstrikes giving them a window of opportunity. The U.S. responded by sending helicopter gunships to support Iraqi ground troops which is another step closer to going to war with ISIS.
