Syria: 80 people killed in just over 24 hours
[Al Jazeera] At least 80 people have been killed in just over 24 hours in suspected Russian and Syrian government shelling in the eastern and southern parts of Syria. The majority of those killed were civilians. In the eastern province of Deir Az Zor, suspected Russian warplanes hit al-Shafah village on the eastern bank of the Euphrates River on Sunday, killing about 51 people. Four others were killed in an attack on the village of al-Darnaj, also on Sunday, raising the corpse count in the province to 55. Deir Az Zor province is one of the final Syrian redoubts 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.... of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS, also known as ISIS) after the gang was pushed out of its main strongholds, including Raqqa and Deir Az Zor city.
