ISIS mine claims life of two civilians east of Syria’s Palmyra
[NPASyria] On Monday, two civilians bit the dust in a landmine explosion left over by Islamic State ...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 Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... (ISIS) in a town east of Palmyra, central Syria. A local source from the town of Sukhnah east of Palmyra said each of Ali al-Hussein, 30, and his nephew Muhannad al-Hussein, 26, bit the dust in a landmine explosion that was left by ISIS on the outskirts of the town. The source added that the two young men were on their way to the town’s desert to search for their brothers who had gone missing two days ago chasing truffles and had not returned yet. Since early this year, dozens of civilian victims have been recorded in the Syrian Desert during the truffles season due to explosions of ISIS mines. On March 19, attackers, suspected to be operatives of ISIS, killed two members of the pro-government the National Defense Forces (NDF) and maimed two snuffies of the Iranian-backed Liwa al-Quds militia. This took place after a group of individuals, who worked for a leader of the NDF in truffles chasing were attacked in Ayyash desert in the western countryside of Deir ez-Zor. The Iranian-backed militias and government forces control vast areas of the Syrian Badia (Desert) and Deir ez-Zor, which have recently witnessed many battles against ISIS.
