| [DAWN] Fighters from the murderous Moslem 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) group attempted to break out of a detention facility in northeastern Syria but US-backed Syrian fighters "successfully" restored calm, activists and the US-led coalition said on Saturday. Few details emerged about what transpired a day earlier in the detention facility in the town of Derik, in the Kurdish-administered northeastern Syria. Activists from the Rojava Information Centre said local anti-terror forces were deployed on Friday around the building and on its roof after the attempted prison break. The activist-run media platform said warplanes flew over the facility. Col Scott Rawlinson, coalition front man, said all detainees were accounted for after the Syrian Democratic Forces "peacefully" dealt with the incident. He said coalition forces supported the SDF with aerial observation but provided no further details. |
