Islamic State claims Tunisian checkpoint attack that killed 3
[HINDUSTANTIMES] 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.... has grabbed credit for an attack on a checkpoint in central Tunisia that killed three coppers, according to a statement carried on a jihadi social media account used by the group. "We dunnit and we're glad! Glad, y'unnerstand? Glad! [BARK!] [BARK!] Awooooo!" The coppers were killed in festivities in Sidi Bouzid during an attack on Monday in which gunnies tried to kidnap eight people and opened fire on a military helicopter before one was shot and the other maimed and captured. "The attack was carried out by two soldiers of the caliphate who attacked two military sites with small arms," the statement said. The ultra-hardline Islamic State has declared a caliphate in large parts of Iraq and Syria that are controlled by its Death Eaters. The IS is also active in Tunisia's chaotic neighbour Libya. Islamic State made some claims to the Bardo Museum attack in Tunis in March where gunnies killed a group of foreign tourists. But Tunisian security sources have said dissident members of Okba Ibn Nafaa, a group of al Qaeda-affiliated fighters operating in the Chaambi mountains along the Algerian border, may have carried out the Bardo operation.
