| [ALMASDARNEWS] 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, formerly ISIS) grabbed credit for a car kaboom in the northern Iraqi city of Tal Afar, the group said on its news agency Amaq on Tuesday. The attack on Tal Afar, a former IS stronghold, killed two people and maimed 11, Rooters reported, citing the Iraqi military. Tal Afar is about 80km west of djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... The city experienced cycles of sectarian violence between Sunnis and Shiites after the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003, and produced some of IS’s most senior commanders. The city with about 200,000 residents came under the bad boys’ control when IS overran swathes of Iraq’s north in 2014. |
