| [AnNahar] A senior 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 jihadist was killed on Friday in an air strike in eastern Syria, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said. "A coalition warplane fired on a cycle of violence with two men on it after it left a headquarters" of IS west of Deir Ezzor city in the province of the same name, the head of the Britannia-based monitor told AFP. "One of the men on the bike was an important IS official, an Arab national," Rami Abdel Rahman said, without giving details about his identity or role. "He was killed, as was the other man," Abdel Rahman said. The jihadist group controls much of Deir Ezzor province bordering Iraq, and Abdel Rahman said Friday's strike indicates that the target's movements were being closely monitored. The United States, driving force behind the growing international coalition against IS, began bombarding the group's positions in Iraq on August 8, and has launched nearly 200 air strikes since then. On Tuesday, the air strikes spread to Syria, with the active participation of warplanes from five Arab states -- Bahrain, Jordan, Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates... , Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... and the United Arab Emirates. The U.S. and Arab allies launched new strikes on Friday against IS-controlled oil installations in Deir Ezzor and Hasakeh provinces, in addition to other targets. |
