| Tearing down the "caliphate": on the frontline against Islamic State in Mosul |
| 2017-03-22 |
| [NEWSTATESMAN] 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.... is steadily losing djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... and in Iraq, at least, the end of the so-called caliphate is in sight. In Abu Saif, state forces found the corpses of imported muscle and, hiding, an IS operative who was still alive. |
