Iraqi general: ISIS trying to use motorcycle-borne suicide attackers
2015-11-23
[Rudaw] An Iraqi military official said Sunday that 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....
was using new approaches to send suicide kaboomers and that Iraqi forces had foiled two recent suicide attacks.

"During the past two days ISIS murderous Moslems attempted to use different techniques to send suicide attackers in Ramadi and instead of planting explosives and sending boom-mobiles they used cycle of violence suicide attacks to target security and the Iraqi army," Major General Ismail Mahalawi, the head of the Anbar operations command, said in a presser.

Mahalawi said the Iraqi army foiled two cycle of violence suicide attacks in southern Ramadi and killed three ISIS suicide attackers who aimed to detonate themselves at Iraqi army positions.

"ISIS is defeated in Ramadi and Anbar province completely, and is seeking several ways for Dire Revenge," Mahalawi added.

ISIS seized Ramadi on May 17, 2015 and has controlled most of Anbar--the largest province in Iraq--ever since its lightning assault across Iraq in 2014.
