| 2015-05-02 |
| [AnNahar] 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 claimed they beheaded four Yemeni soldiers and rubbed out another 11 execution-style in a video posted online Thursday, a monitoring group said. The soldiers were shown in front of the camera before jihadists were seen sharpening their knives and killing four of them, according to SITE Intelligence Group, a U.S. website monitor. The heads of the four young men were then seen on the ground, in the video said to have been filmed in the southern province of Shabwa. The footage shows 10 more soldiers, blindfolded and crouching with their hands bound, being shot once each in the forehead, while another is riddled with bullets from behind. According to SITE, Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula ...the latest incarnation of various Qaeda and Qaeda-allied groups, including the now-defunct Aden-Abyan Islamic Army that boomed the USS Cole in 2000... (AQAP) has denied responsibility Nope. Nope. Wudn't us. for the killings which took place in mid-April. They were instead claimed by the "Shabwa Province" militia that has declared itself as a division of IS, a Sunni Lion of Islam group that has overrun swathes of Iraq and Syria. Shabwa was the scene of fierce fighting Thursday between loyalists of President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi and Huthi Iranian catspaws, who have captured the capital Sanaa and advanced on his southern stronghold of Aden. |
