| [ARA] On Wednesday, forces of Evil of the 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 (IS/ISIS) destroyed the French Lafarge plant of Cement, which is located between Kobane and the town of Ain Issa in Jalabiya in northeastern Syria. Local sources told ARA News that the radical group went kaboom!the plant after evacuating its contents and and transferring it to the city of Raqqa, the IS' main stronghold in Syria. The IS gunnies reportedly bombed tunnels of the plant's electricity network, which extends down the plant, southeast of Kobane. The blast led to the destruction of 80% of the plant. The Lafarge Cement Company was founded nearly even years ago, and was considered one of the largest industrial investments in Syria, as it used to cover more than a third of the local market's need of cement. In this regard, Syrian economist Dr. Moslem Talas told ARA News: "The IS power is meant to destroy, and no one heard about any constructions or economic projects by this radical group, so what happened to the cement company was not surprising. "These barbarians are destroying the accumulation of generations. Bombing this plant is part of their atrocities against humanity," he argued. "After losing ground in Kobane, the terror group is trying to take Dire Revenge from the region through destroying such valuable facilities." Speaking to ARA News, Sherwan Khalas, the network manager of Rocher Company, said that bombing the plant would negatively affect the economic reality in the region, and may lead hundreds of families to the specter of unemployment. "This terrorist group is building its economy on the ashes of Syria," he said. The plant's protection has moved from the Syrian state to the People's Protection Units (YPG) in September 20, 2014, before IS took over it. |
