| [ALMASDARNEWS] A large group of Salafist tough guys launched a new offensive in the northern Aleppo countryside on Monday, targeting the key town of Al-Rai, which is currently under the control of 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 Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... of Iraq and Al-Sham (ISIS). Led by Jaish Al-Tahrir, Sultan Murad Brigades, and Jabhat Al-Shamiya, the Salafist tough guys attacked the Al-Rai Grain Silos, where they were confronted by an exhausted Islamist State force. Initially, the Salafist tough guys were able to capture the Al-Rai Grain Silos; however, their attempt to enter this strategic village was foiled by the Islamic State Lions of Islam after a fierce battle on Monday evening. Following this battle at Al-Rai village, the Islamic State launched a counter-attack to recapture the Grain Silos; this assault would prove successful, as the terrorist group expelled the remaining Islamists from area. |
