White Shroud group strike fear into terrorists by picking off fighters one by one
[DAILYMAIL.CO.UK] Terrorist organisation Islamic State is now under attack from guerrillas itself, it was revealed today. Small groups of Syrians are hunting down ISIS fighters in one of their main strongholds in eastern Syria in a new guerrilla campaign that has emerged as a response to the Islamists' growing brutality.The main aim is to generate fear in ISIS's ranks, said the head of 'White Shroud' -- a group that says it has killed more than 100 of the militants' fighters in attacks in Deir al-Zor province in recent months. White Shroud is a reference to the death shroud it says awaits ISIS fighters responsible for crimes against the Syrian people, according to the group leader, who gives his name as Abu Aboud. Mr Aboud -- not his real name -- was a commander in an anti-Assad insurgent group crushed by the better armed and financed ISIS as it seized almost full control of Deir al-Zor earlier this year.
