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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
group grabbed credit for the attack, but said in a statement that it had deployed a jacket wallah who blew up a car at the checkpoint, which turbans then raided, according to AFP.
They also shot Kennedy. Both Kennedys. And they killed Jon Benet.
Earlier, sources told Al-Ahram Arabic's news hound that ambulances were not able to reach the site of the attack.
