Not long after launching this attack, the Syrian Army liberated most of Quriyah, leaving only a small part of the town still under the occupation of 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). According to a field source, the Syrian Army has killed over 20 Islamic State bully boyz and destroyed five vehicles thus far en route to liberating several areas in-and-around al-Quriyah. The Syrian Army’s primary objective now is to reach the nearby town of al-Asharaha, which is an Islamic State stronghold that possesses a large command-and-control center.
