Battle for eastern Hama turns into a blood bath as SAA, ISIL forces trade blows
[ALMASDARNEWS] What started as a small 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) offensive has turned into a blood bath in central Syria, as the latter and Syrian Arab Army (SAA) trade blows in the eastern countryside of Salamiyah. ISIS began the day by storming six checkpoints that belonged to the Syrian Arab Army and National Defense Forces (NDF) near the town of al-Mafkar in the Salamiyah District of eastern Hama. The attack would prove successful for the terrorist group as they managed to capture all of the checkpoints near al-Mafkar, while also killing more than 15 soldiers from the NDF and SAA.
