ISIS landmine kills 14 Syrian truffle hunters in Raqqa: State media
|
[Rudaw] At least 14 truffle hunters were killed by a land mine allegedly left behind by 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) holy warriors in the Syrian desert, state media reported on Sunday.
"Fourteen citizens were martyred and eight others were maimed as a result of a mine explosion left behind by ISIS bully boyz in the Raqqa desert, while they were collecting truffle mushrooms," SANA said, citing a statement from Raqqa Governor Abdul Razzaq Khalifa.
Despite repeated warnings from authorities, hundreds of poverty-stricken Syrians venture into the Badia desert between February and April each year in search of truffles. The desert is known to be a hideout for jihadists and also contains landmines, making it a high-risk area to search for the delicacy.
On Friday, at least five people were killed in an ISIS ambush while truffle hunting in Syria’s central Homs province, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britannia-based war monitor.
