...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really 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 western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
 organization (ISIS) in the Masrab Badia, west of Deir ez-Zor, east Syria.

ISIS attacked a military vehicle of the National Defense Forces (NDF) of the Syrian government near the main road in the town of al-Masrab, with machine guns, and killed 16 members, including a big shot, North Press reported a military source from the government forces in Deir ez-Zor.

"Among the dead was Abdussattar al-Sha’eiti, commander of the Lions of the East Army (Arabic: Usud al-Sharqiya) of the government forces, who came from the town of al-Kishkiyah in the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor," the source, who declined to be named, added.

After the attack, the government forces brought in large reinforcements to the place of the incident to comb the area after ISIS turbans fled into the depths of the desert.

It should be noted that the Iranian-backed militias and the government forces control large areas of the countryside of Deir ez-Zor, which have recently witnessed heavy festivities with ISIS.

This morning, a member of the Iranian-backed Liwa al-Baqir was killed and another was maimed, as a result of a dispute between them, near the entrance to the city of Deir ez-Zor.
