| 2015-04-02 |
| [DAWN] More than 25,000 imported muscle from some 100 countries are linked to al Qaeda and the self-styled 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.... , with Syria and Iraq comprising a "veritable international finishing school for Lion of Islams," United Nations ...a formerly good idea gone bad... experts reported to the UN Security Council. The experts, who monitor al Qaeda sanctions violations, said in a report seen by Rooters that along with some 22,000 imported muscle in Syria and Iraq, there were also 6,500 in Afghanistan and hundreds more in Yemen, Libya, Pakistain and Somalia. At a meeting of the 15-member Security Council chaired by US President Barack Obama It’s very rare that I come to an event where I’m like the fifth- or sixth-most interesting person.... in September, the experts were asked to report within six months on the threat from imported muscle joining IS, which has declared a caliphate in Syria and Iraq, Nusra Front in Syria and other al Qaeda-linked groups. "For the thousands of (imported muscle) who traveled to the Syrian Arab Republic and Iraq ... they live and work in a veritable 'international finishing school' for faceless myrmidons as it was in the case in Afghanistan during the 1990s," the experts wrote in their report submitted to the council late this month. |
