Syria Roadside Bomb Kills One Near Coalition Base
[AnNahar] A roadside kaboom killed a fighter Monday near a base in northern Syria used by American and French soldiers from the US-led coalition fighting 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.... group, a monitor said. "A bomb by the side of the road went kaboom!as a military vehicle drove by on the road from Ain Issa to the Brigade 93 base" in the northern province of Raqa, the Britannia-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group said. Kurdish fighters from the Syrian Democratic Forces, a Kurdish-Arab alliance backed by the US-led coalition, are also stationed at the base, Observatory head Rami Abdel Rahman said. He was not immediately able to determine the nationality of the victim. The SDF backed by the US-led coalition have expelled IS from much of Syria since the jihadists overran large parts of the country in 2014. The jihadists have also faced a second offensive from Russia-backed regime troops, but still hold tiny pockets in eastern Syria. More than 350,000 people have been killed in Syria's war since it started in 2011 with the brutal repression of anti-government protests. Posted by: trailing wife 2018-06-05 |
