[AnNahar] Landmines left behind by jihadists have killed at least 17 people in Syria in a 24-hour period at the weekend, a war monitor said on Sunday.An ordnance left behind by 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 went kaboom!in the eastern province of Deir Ezzor on Saturday, killing 16 people and wounding 32 others, said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. A separate landmine kaboom in the northern province of Aleppo on Sunday killed one person, the Observatory said. The jihadist group often plants mines to slow opponents. De-mining former IS strongholds continues to be a major challenge in areas liberated from the jihadist group. Last month, more than 20 non-combatants were killed in Hama province in central Syria when a landmine left behind by IS went kaboom!under a van. At least 44 people have been killed in landmine kabooms across Syria in the past three weeks, the Observatory said. Posted by: trailing wife 2019-03-18 |
