[RUDAW.NET] 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....
has declared a state of emergency in Fallujah,
... the City of Mosques, which might have somthing to do with why it's not called Center of Prosperity or a really nice place to raise your kids...
as Shiite Hashd al-Shaabi militias have launched an attack to liberate the city, an Iraqi military source said Tuesday.

"We'll take control of Fallujah very soon, the attack won't last long," said Ahmed al-Asadi, a spokesperson for the Hashd al-Shaabi. He added that after ISIS declared a state of emergency it forcibly took civilians to the front line.

According to Asadi, former Iraqi babus government employees inside Fallujah contacted the Hashd al-Shaabi and promised to help as they enter the town.

He also said that turbans of the terror group rigged mosques and houses with explosives.
