| [AnNahar] Three 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.... jacket wallahs, including a Frenchie, have detonated explosives-laden trucks in coordinated attacks on Iraqi troops and Shiite militia, destroying their targets, the jihadist group said Wednesday. The attacks were carried out near Camp Speicher, 160 kilometers (100 miles) north of Baghdad in Salaheddin province, said claims on Twitter, seen by SITE Intelligence Group. IS said a "gathering of the Safavid (Iraqi) army and its Rafidhi (Shiite) militias," a barracks and a headquarters, all on the road connecting "Speicher Base/Fourth Division" were hit with a truck carrying six tonnes of explosives. Each of the kabooms resulted in the "complete destruction and elimination" of the target, it added. Photos showed smiling young men, each with their right index finger pointing upward in a gesture referring to the unity of God. They were named as Abul Talha al-Firansi, the Frenchie; Abu Omar al-Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates... i, from Qatar and Abu Ukasha al-Shami, from Syria. Others photos showed what appeared to be kabooms. Camp Speicher, outside the city of Tikrit, was the scene of a June massacre in which nearly 1,700 soldiers died during an IS sweep in which the jihadist group seized large swathes of Iraq's north and west. The U.S. government estimates that IS has about 20,000 fighters, some 3,400 of which are believed to be foreigners. In January, French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said a total of 73 of his countrymen had died in "terrorist operations" in Iraq and neighboring Syria. |
