"The bombardment became much fiercer after the holy warriors started moving in Wadi al-Kheil, Wadi al-Oueini and Tallat al-Furn, where large numbers of al-Nusra ...formally Jabhat an-Nusrah li-Ahli sh-Sham (Support Front for the People of the Levant), also known as al-Qaeda in the Levant. They aim to establish a pan-Arab caliphate. Not the same one as the Islamic State, though .. ... Front and 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.... jihadists are positioned," NNA added. The army managed to destroy a convoy of military and construction vehicles that were operating in the region, killing and wounding several bully boys, the agency said. The bully boys' dead and maimed were transferred to field hospitals in Wadi Hmeid and Wadi al-Kheil. "The army is continuing its artillery bombardment and has brought reinforcements into the town" of Arsal, NNA added. IS and Nusra holy warriors are entrenched in the mountainous border area near Syria and have used the arid terrain to launch attacks on Lebanese security forces. Posted by: trailing wife 2015-10-12 |
