Islamic State Group Flier Claims Responsibility For Gaza Attack
2014-10-09
[Ynet] Handbill says bombing French Cultural Center for its 'immorality and heresy was radical Islamist organization debut operation in Strip.

The 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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
group grabbed credit for a Tuesday night kaboom at the French Cultural Center in Gazoo City, according to an unverified proclamation published Wednesday morning in the Strip.

The announcement said this was "the debut operation for the Islamic State group in the Gazoo Strip."

Around midnight local time, several kabooms rocked the French Cultural Center, causing damage but no casualties. The center resides in an upscale new building built two years ago.

The French Cultural Center in Gazoo conducts French language courses and transfers visa applications for La Belle France from local residents to the French Consulate in Jerusalem for processing.

Due to the late hour, there was no one at the site. Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, sources rushed to play down the incident and released reports that the center's generator went kaboom! setting fire to gas tanks stored nearby. Meanwhile,
...back at the alley, Bugs Moroni was holding Slats from behind while his brother Greasy Thumb was pounding his face into paste ...
the Interior Ministry's spokesperson noted that an investigation was launched into the incident.

The declaration released Wednesday morning was topped with the recognizable Islamic State group's logo. "Our fighters successfully bombed the center for immorality and heresy known as the French Cultural Center after weeks of surveillance."

The proclamation claimed the kaboom was caused by a 200 kilogram payload hidden at the site near the facility's gas tanks. The tanks were intended to supply emergency power to the generators in case of electricity shortages.

Though the announcement attempts to lay claim to the group's first attack in Gazoo, it is signed with the incorrect date ‐ October 10 ‐ three days after the alleged attack.

The veracity of the declaration has yet to be verified. While this would be the first time the Islamic State group's grabbed credit for a bombing in Gazoo, other radical Salafi organizations have existed in the Strip for years ‐ operating with the same intent as the Islamic State.

One of these factions was responsible for the kidnapping and murder of Italian activist Vittorio Arrigoni three years ago in the Strip. Hamas has maintained a close watch over these groups who see the Strip's rulers as "too liberal and moderate" and have tried to topple the established terror organization.
