| White Shroud group strike fear into terrorists by picking off fighters one by one |
| 2014-10-15 |
| [DAILYMAIL.CO.UK] Terrorist organisation Islamic State is now under attack from guerrillas itself, it was revealed today. Small groups of Syrians are hunting down ISIS fighters in one of their main strongholds in eastern Syria in a new guerrilla campaign that has emerged as a response to the Islamists' growing brutality. The main aim is to generate fear in ISIS's ranks, said the head of 'White Shroud' -- a group that says it has killed more than 100 of the militants' fighters in attacks in Deir al-Zor province in recent months. White Shroud is a reference to the death shroud it says awaits ISIS fighters responsible for crimes against the Syrian people, according to the group leader, who gives his name as Abu Aboud. Mr Aboud -- not his real name -- was a commander in an anti-Assad insurgent group crushed by the better armed and financed ISIS as it seized almost full control of Deir al-Zor earlier this year. |

#11 They should be encouraged to use exploding-tipped bullets .... the spray of crimson when bullet meets head is aesthetically pleasing and a balm for the soul besides being a suitable counterpoint to all those beheadings.

| #10 SPETSNAZ (spetsialnogo naznacheniya) trained and led more than likely. A worthwhile effort in any case. Spetznaz migrated to Syria fallowing their natural prey? |

| #7 Alan C, Gurkhas and Argentinians. A bunch of confirmed stories from that war where Argentine soldiers went to isolated guard posts and were found by their reliefs with their heads in their laps. Mike |

| #6 Take note. Everyone who is worried about a police state in America. All those people have to go home sometime. Similar acts await them (see-consent of the governed). Be concerned when they build barracks and compounds for the enforcers. |

| #4 This sounds like the effect that snipers have. Also reminds me of some dimly remembered stories about certain WWII troops, (Koreans and Sikhs?) |

| #3 I like the part where he never makes a sound and you find him next to you when you wake up in the morning. Timing, and it's all in the wrist.... |
