| 2014-10-07 |
| [DAWN] Uzbek fighters from an Al-Qaeda-linked turban organization have thrown their support behind the turban 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.... (IS) group controlling swathes of territory in Syria and Iraq. A top leader for the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU), an ally of the Taliban that has been mainly based in Pakistain's tribal belt since the US-led invasion of Afghanistan in 2001, announced its backing for IS. |
