| [ARA] With the decline 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 (IS/ISIS) in Kobane in northern Syria, under blows of the Kurdish forces and supported by the U.S.-led coalition's In order to protect their positions against the coalition's strikes, the IS faceless myrmidons are reportedly building sand berms on the outskirts of Tel Abyad, as well as the villages of Khan, Sileeb, Qaran and Ahmadi west of the city. Abu Mohammed, a resident of westernTel Abyad, told ARA News that the IS faceless myrmidons resort to camouflage operations to avoid the coalition's strikes in the western countryside, pointing out that the gunnies are currently dressing as the Kurdish fighters of the People's Protection Units (YPG) in these villages. The source also said that the group's purpose of dressing as the YPG "is to be able to pursue supporters of Raqqa Rebels Brigade and the Kurdish forces" ‐who are in conflict with the radical group in northern Syria. Commenting on these developments, Syria journalist Jiwan Soz stated to ARA News that the liberation of Tel Abyad from IS faceless myrmidons "is just a matter of time". "However, the difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits... the Kurdish forces should clarify and demarcate the geographical limits they have in the fight against IS terrorists," he said. "The Kurdish fighters must learn from their past mistakes, and they have to remember that they've signed agreements with the Free Syrian Army ... the more palatable version of the Syrian insurgency, heavily influenced by the Moslem Brüderbund... (FSA) regarding potential areas of control." In late July of 2013, the Islamic State and allied Islamist armed factions expelled thousands of Kurdish civilians from the city of Tel Abyad under threat of death to those who do not leave the city, eyewitness from the city told ARA News at the time. |
