IS group driven out of Syria's Idlib after incursion: Monitor
[AlAhram] 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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
group jihadists have been driven out of Syria's Idlib province, two days after making an incursion into the region bordering The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
, a war monitor said Monday.

IS fighters captured the Idlib village of Bashkun at the weekend after festivities with Hayat Tahrir al-Sham
, an alliance of rebel forces dominated by a former al-Qaeda affiliate.

"After fierce fighting, Tahrir al-Sham has once again chased IS out of Idlib," said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britannia-based monitor.
