| IS militants return to outskirts of strategic Iraqi town |
| 2014-12-24 |
| [Ynet] 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.... bully boyz have returned to the outskirts of a strategic oil refinery town after being driven out last month, an Iraqi official said Tuesday. Gov. Raed Ibrahim of the Salahuddin province said the bully boyz fought their way to the edge of Beiji after three days of heavy festivities. He said they were able to advance because Iraqi troops lack heavy weapons. The bully boyz captured Beiji and besieged its refinery - the country's largest - during their rapid advance across Iraq last summer. Iraqi forces wrested the town back in mid-November in one of their biggest victories to date against the turbans. The refinery is some 20 kilometers (15 miles) north of town. |
