| [EN.ZAMANALWSL.NET] Two jacket wallahs 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 Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) group have killed 10 Syrian soldiers in the northeastern city of Hasakeh, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said Wednesday. Separately, at least 13 non-combatants were killed in a car kaboom against a mosque in a village near the capital Damascus, the monitor said. All three incidents occurred Tuesday night, AFP reported. "Ten soldiers were killed and 16 others injured in two suicide kabooms carried out by ISIS against army positions in Hasakeh," the Britannia-based Observatory said. "The first attack was carried out by three jihadists against a military barracks in the center of town, while the second was carried out by one suicide bomber against a checkpoint near a children's hospital." A third suicide bomber hit a post manned by the Kurdish security forces in the city, causing serious damage to buildings in the area but no deaths. Control of Hasakeh, which is ethnically mixed, is divided between Syrian troops and Kurdish forces. On May 30, ISIS launched a bid to enter the city, but was pushed back after violent festivities with Syrian troops and Kurdish fighters. Early Wednesday, ISIS has also carried a surprise attack on predominantly Alawite villages in the eastern countryside of Homs, killing 20 members of paramilitary National Defense Units, according to Zaman al-Wasl sources. Elsewhere in the country, the Observatory said 13 non-combatants were killed when a boom-mobile went kaboom!in front of a mosque in the village of al-Tall as worshippers were leaving prayers. More than 230,000 people have been killed in Syria since the conflict began with anti-government protests before spiraling into a war after a regime crackdown. |
