| IS says American suicide bomber carried out Iraq attack |
| 2015-08-20 |
| [AlAhram] 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.... Lion of Islam group said Tuesday that an American was among four jacket wallahs who carried out attacks against Iraqi security forces in the Baiji area north of Baghdad. IS, which has been battling Iraqi forces for control of Baiji for months, said in an online statement that "Abu Abdullah al-Amriki" detonated an explosives-rigged four-by-four near the town. The other three attackers -- two Tajiks and an Iraqi -- blew up other explosives-rigged vehicles in the Baiji area, the jihadist group said, without specifying when the attacks took place. The Islamist group said another American carried out a suicide kaboom against Iraqi forces fighting to retake the city of Tikrit earlier this year. IS launched a devastating offensive in June 2014, sweeping security forces aside and overrunning around a third of the country. Baghdad's forces have since regained significant ground north of the capital from IS, but much of western Iraq remain outside government control. |
