| [AnNahar] 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 beheaded overnight two opposition fighters accused of fighting the Lion of Islam group in a southern Damascus suburb, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitor said Tuesday. "IS executed two men in south Damascus by beheading" after they were accused of being traitors, the Britannia-based Observatory said. Observatory chief Rami Abdel Rahman told AFP IS had kidnapped the fighters from Qadam, a Damascus neighborhood, and beheaded them in Hajar al-Aswad, a suburb of the capital. IS has a relatively limited presence in south Damascus, with its forces concentrated in the outskirts of Qadam and Hajar al-Aswad. The incident is the third time its holy warriors are reported to have carried out beheadings in and around the capital. On March 21, IS beheaded three fighters, also accusing them of being traitors, in Hajar al-Aswad. And after IS seized control of large portions of the Paleostinian Yarmuk camp this month, following an attack launched from Hajar al-Aswad, the group executed a number of Paleostinian fighters there. Qadam has been relatively stable for the past eight months, since a truce deal between Syrian government forces and rebels in the district. |
