Car Bombs In Baghdad Kill 38, As IS Slays Local Journalist
2014-10-12
[IsraelTimes] A series of car kabooms in Iraq's capital killed 38 people in Shiite areas Saturday, authorities said, after Islamic murderous Moslems killed a journalist working for a local television network in a Sunni province.

The attacks come as Iraq faces its greatest challenge since the 2011 withdraw of U.S. troops, as murderous Moslems from 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....
group now hold vast swaths of the country and neighboring Syria.

Police officials said the first bombing happened Saturday night when a jacket wallah rammed his car bomb into a security checkpoint in Baghdad's northern district of Khazimiyah, killing 13 people, including three coppers, and wounding 28.

The second boom-mobileing, targeting a commercial street in Shula district in northwestern Baghdad, killed seven people and maimed 18, police said. The blast damaged several shops and cars.

Also in Shula, police said a suicide car kaboom on a security checkpoint killed 18 people and maimed dozens others.

Hospital officials confirmed the casualty figures for the attacks.

Nobody grabbed credit for the attacks, yet Sunni murderous Moslems frequently target Shiite population they deem as being heretics. That includes the Islamic State group, which now holds a third of the country in its sway. After a lightening offensive earlier this year.

On the western edge of Iraq's capital, Islamic State murderous Moslems were battling government forces and exchanging mortar fire, only adding to the sense of siege in Baghdad.

Meanwhile,

the U.S. military said Saturday it launched an Arclight airstrike north of the town of Tal Afar, hitting a small Islamic State fighting unit and destroying an armed vehicle. It said two other Arclight airstrikes northwest of Hit in Anbar province targeted two small krazed killer units.

The U.S. military also said it conducted multiple airdrops Friday near the northern town of Beiji to resupply Iraqi security forces operating there. The airdrops delivered food and water, as well as 16,000 pounds of ammunition, the military said.

Also Saturday, the governor of Iraq's Salahuddin province said Islamic State group murderous Moslems killed Raad al-Azzawi, who was a cameraman for Iraq's Salahuddin Television. Governor Raed Ibrahim said murderous Moslems killed al-Azzawi on Friday in the city of Tikrit. Ibrahim said he wasn't able to provide any further details.

The Islamic State group has beheaded a number of journalists in Syria, saying the killings are in retaliation to U.S.-led coalition Arclight airstrikes in Iraq and Syria.

Reporters Without Borders said last month that the murderous Moslems had threatened to kill al-Azzawi, a father of three, for refusing to join the Sunni krazed killer group. The media watchdog said al-Azzawi was kidnapped on Sept. 7.
