| [Iran Press TV] A video has surfaced in social media showing purported ISIL Lions of Islam claiming to have seized a military headquarters in north-central Syria. The amateur footage showed the purported Lions of Islam from the Takfiri ...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who must be killed... group claiming to have taken control of the 93th Brigade military base in the city of Raqqa. It also showed the bodies of soldiers scattered around the scene of the battle. The UK-based so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) has said at least 27 Syrian forces were killed in an assault on the headquarters. The group said 11 ISIL Lions of Islam were also killed in the attack, including three who blew themselves up at the base. ISIL Lions of Islam now "control major parts of the base," the opposition-affiliated observatory claimed. The holy warriors have already captured a large part of the Raqqa Province. The SOHR said some troops had already pulled out of the headquarters in July following the capture by ISIL of Division 17, another base in the region, where at least 85 people were killed in fighting or were summarily executed shortly afterwards. Syria has been gripped by deadly unrest since 2011. According to reports, the Western powers and their regional allies - especially Qatar, 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... , and Turkey - are supporting the Lions of Islam operating inside the country. |
