ISIS ambushes US-backed rebels in southern Syria, top commander seriously wounded

[ALMASDARNEWS] 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....
(ISIS/ISIS/IS/ISIS) emerged within the U.S.-held Tanf Zone this week to lay an ambush against a group of rebels near the Iraqi border.

According to reports, the Islamic State ambushed a vehicle belonging to the commander of the U.S.-backed Jaish Mughawir al-Thoura group as he was traveling through the Tanf Zone.

The Jaish Mughawir al-Thoura commander, Mohannad al-Talaa, and two of his bodyguards, were seriously maimed after the Islamic State fired an anti-tank guided missile at the rebel commanders vehicle.

Al-Talaa is reportedly at death's door as a result of the wounds he sustained during the attack by the Islamic State.
