ISIS kills 18 collecting truffles in Syria: Monitor
|
[Rudaw] At least 14 civilians and four fighters of a pro-regime militia were killed in an attack carried out by Islamic State
 ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really 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 western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(ISIS) forces of Evil while collecting truffles in Syria’s eastern Deir ez-Zor province, a war monitor reported.
"18 people were killed, including four National Defense Forces [NDF] members. 16 others were maimed, and more than 50 missing in an attack launched by button men, likely affiliated with the Islamic State" in the desert regions of Deir ez-Zor while they were collecting truffles, said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britannia-based war monitor.
"Major" injuries to civilians were also inflicted in the ISIS ambush, the monitor said.
The NDF is a pro-government militia that has fought alongside Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad
Leveler of Latakia...
since the outbreak of the Syrian civil war.
Hundreds of poverty-stricken Syrians venture into the Badia desert between February and April each year in search of truffles, despite repeated warnings from authorities. The desert is known to be a hideout for jihadists and also contains landmines, making it a high-risk area to search for the delicacy.
The Syrian desert is known for producing some of the highest quality truffles in the world, which can fetch up to $25 per kilogram, in a country where the average monthly wage is only around $18.
In late February, an ISIS landmine in the Syrian desert killed at least 14 truffle hunters and injured eight.
Days prior, at least five people were killed in an ISIS ambush while truffle hunting in Syria’s central Homs province.
