| [AnNahar] A jacket wallah killed a prominent tribal leader and five other people in an attack southwest of Baghdad, police said on Saturday. The bomber blew up a tanker truck rigged with explosives outside the home of Sheikh Lorens al-Hadhal in the al-Nikhaib area of Anbar province on Friday night, Major Alaa al-Dulaimi said. A former member of parliament, the sheikh was head of the powerful Aniza tribe, which has members in neighboring Kuwait and Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... as well as in Iraq. The blast also maimed 14 people, Dulaimi said. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack, but suicide kabooms are a tactic almost exclusively employed by Sunni snuffies in Iraq, including jihadists 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.... group. The country's powerful tribes are key to the government's efforts to retake and maintain control of areas currently held by the jihadists. |
