800 Tunisian jihadists killed fighting for ISIS in Syria
[ARA] At least 800 Tunisian nationals were killed in Syria since the outbreak of the war there in 2011, Tunisia's interior ministry said on Friday.
...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 the 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.... (ISIS). "Most of the Tunisian jihadists have joined the ranks of ISIS after the group proved its success in taking over large areas in Syria and Iraq," an informed source told ARA News. The ministry confirmed the death of 800 Tunisian jihadists in Syria so far, adding that hundreds others are still fighting for ISIS in Syria and Iraq. The front man of the Tunisian interior ministry Waleed Allouqini said in a statement that the authorities are prepared to take strict security procedures against returning jihadists, "as they may pose threat to the national security of Tunisia". "Security units in cooperation with special forces have recently captured several pro-ISIS recruiting cells across the country," Allouqini said, adding that the authorities are pursuing other suspects "to prevent further radicalization of Tunisian youth".
