| [Hurriyet] 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 the Levant (ISIL) Death Eaters kidnapped and killed seven people, including three women, in the southern province of Zabul, a police official said on Nov. 8, amid heavy fighting in the region between the group and Taliban Lion of Islams. Groups associated with ISIL have made growing inroads in Afghanistan in recent years, attracting fighters and support away from disenchanted members of the Taliban. They have been battling government forces and the Taliban in a challenge for supremacy of the Islamist insurgency, and its rise has caused alarm outside Afghanistan, with U.S. commanders citing the movement as a reason to delay troop withdrawals. Ghulam Jilani Farahi, a deputy police chief in Zabul, said police found the victims, who were kidnapped on Oct. 1 from Rasani village in the Gelan district of the neighbouring Ghazni province. "Daesh [Islamic State] fighters brutally killed these people and their dead bodies have been carried to Shah Joi district hospital," Farahi said by telephone, using the local name for the ISIL. The victims were members of the Hazara ethnic group, Farahi said, adding that police were investigating. Photos seen by Rooters showed their throats were cut. Heavy fighting ... as opposed to the more usual name-calling or slapsy... between Death Eaters from the two groups was ongoing in three other districts in the province, with 60 ISIL fighters and 15 Taliban killed, Farahi said. It was not possible for Rooters to verify the report. |
