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.... is is just a "matter of time" and clears the way for the takeover of Raqqa. Erodgan told news hounds Turkish troops and their Syrian rebel allies entered the center of al-Bab and intend to clear a "safe zone" of 1,930 square miles. al-Bab is the last urban stronghold of Islamic State in Aleppo province and is 110 miles from Raqqa.

It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world.
