| [IsraelTimes] US-backed Syrian fighters battling 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.... group have snatched thousands of documents, cellphones and other digital devices from the jihadists, a Pentagon official says Wednesday. The seizure comes as an anti-IS force comprising Kurdish and Syrian Arab fighters hones in on the northern city of Manbij, an important waypoint between the Turkish border and Raqqa, the jihadists’ de facto capital. Colonel Chris Garver, a front man for the US-led anti-IS campaign, says Syrian Arab fighters were establishing "footholds" on the southern and western edges of Manbij, and had seized entrances to an intricate jihadist tunnel complex. They also seized more than 10,000 documents from the outlying edges, including textbooks, propaganda posters, cellphones, laptops, maps and digital storage devices, Garver tells news hounds. "Exploitation of this information is ongoing to better understand Daesh [Islamic State] networks and techniques, including the systems to manage the flow of imported muscle into Syria and Iraq," he adds, using an Arabic abbreviation for the IS group. |

| #6 I wonder whatever happened to the huge cache of documents found in the Bin Laden residence in Abbotabad? As I recall, the Saddam Hussein government documents went to West Point to be translated, Ulusoque Speaking for Boskone3139, so perhaps the Bin Laden documents went to the same place. |
