...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....
(IS) bully boyz on a security checkpoint in Anbar, a security source was quoted as saying.

Speaking to Basnews website, the source said, "A security checkpoint set up on a highway in al-Qa’im district, west of Anbar, was targeted by a group of IS bully boyz in the wee hours of Friday."

"The armed attack left four Iraqi soldiers killed, and four others maimed," according to the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

He pointed out that the "injured soldiers were taken to a nearby hospital for treatment, while a security force arrived at the scene and opened a probe into the incident."

"A manhunt was launched in search for perpetrators of the attack, who fled to unknown locations in the desert," the source concluded.
