| [ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) murderous Moslems detained at least 70 people in a remote western Iraqi town on Saturday following a rare street demonstration protesting the myrmidon group's execution of a local resident, security officials said. They said the protest by hundreds of residents in Rutbah, in Anbar province, was triggered by the execution earlier on Saturday of Munir al-Kobeisi, a civil servant, for killing a member of the myrmidon group. The killing was part of a long-running blood feud between two local clans. Eid Amash, a front man for Anbar's provincial government, confirmed al-Kobeisi's execution and the subsequent protest. Officials said they did not know the whereabouts of the detained residents. Elsewhere in Anbar, much of which is under ISIS control, a roadside kaboom on Saturday hit a border guard convoy making its way to the border crossing of Trebil on the Jordanian border, security officials said. Five officers were killed in the attack, which bore the hallmarks of the ISIS group, whose murderous Moslems are active in the area near the Jordanian and Syrian borders in western Iraq. The officials also said a pair of roadside kabooms killed five people and injured 19 south and west of Baghdad on Saturday. Also in the capital, assailants using pistols fitted with silencers killed two people in the Jihad neighborhood in western Baghdad before they fled in a car. Other details were not immediately available. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media. |
