A Death Eater of the Iranian-backed Liwa al-Quds

..a.k.a. the Jerusalem Brigade, a Palestinian militia supporting the Assad government...

was killed on Friday and another was injured in a landmine explosion in a town east of Homs Governorate in central Syria.

A military source from the Liwa al-Quds told North press that the landmine went kaboom! while the turbans were on a foot patrol searching for Islamic State

...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really 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 western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(ISIS) cells in the eastern countryside of Homs near the village of Marwan al-Fawara, in the eastern countryside of Homs.

The explosion resulted in the death of Haider al-Abid, 32, a Death Eater of Liwa al-Quds from the city of Palmyra, central Syria. Another Death Eater was maimed and taken to a field hospital in Homs.

Two days earlier, a child was killed and two others were maimed in two separate landmine explosions in the western and eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor Governorate, eastern Syria.

The Syrian Desert covers nearly half of the area of Syria, and is distributed over the governorates of Deir ez-Zor, Raqqa, Aleppo, Homs, Hama, Rif Dimashq, Suwayda and Palmyra.

Iranian-backed militias and the government forces control large areas of the Syrian Desert and the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor, which constitutes a source of concern as it witnesses intensive operations by ISIS sleeper cells.

#2 Keep an eye on Syria and the US troops (why?) in eastern Syria (where all the oil is, that's why).

As people focus on Ukraine, this area could get nasty.
