ISIS commander explodes himself inside a Lebanese Army vehicle
[ALMASDARNEWS] One of the leaders of the so-called "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.... " (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIS) in Leb was killed on Friday as a result of counter-terrorist operation of Lebanese Army in Arsal. Particularly gory picture at link. As paradoxic as it might sound, death of Bilal al-Baridi, the aforementioned IS commander, comes as a failure of the raid, and not a success. Start of the operation was promising as Lebanese military stormed Baridi’s house and managed to capture him alive. Consequently, he was taken by a car to a military base in Beqaa province for questioning. This is where the operation went wrong. Being on its way to destination, Army convoy was attacked by IS jihadists on two vehicles. In the ensued firefight, Lebanese soldiers killed a driver of one of the vehicles, while also captured two other holy warriors, after they had surrendered. Taking advantage of the turmoil, Baridi managed to pull a hand grenade from one of the soldiers’ vest and detonated it instantly killing himself and injuring 6 soldiers as a result.
