Local source: ISIS demands all Kurds depart Raqqa
2015-06-25
[RUDAW.NET] 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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
group has warned Kurdish residents of Raqqa to leave the city in three days, reportedly in an attempt to avoid anti-ISIS sleeper cells, a local source told Rudaw.

The source, who asked to remain anonymous due to security reasons, told Rudaw late Tuesday ISIS has informed Syria's Kurdish families in its stronghold Raqqa to leave and move to nearby areas like Hams and Tadmar.

According to the source, the holy warriors issued a three-day ultimatum to the Kurds inside Raqqa.

"In the letters the ISIS Caliph His Supreme Immensity, Caliph of the Faithful and Galactic Overlord, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi
...formerly merely the head of ISIL and a veteran of the Bagram jailhouse. Looks like a new messiah to bajillions of Moslems, like just another dead-eyed mass murder to the rest of us...
's signature is missing," the source added.

"They are scared of Kurdish sleeper cells. They know Kurds will help Kurdish fighters against their gunnies," the source claimed.

The ISIS warning follows a series of major offensives by the Kurdish fighters of the People's Protection Units (YPG) against ISIS in Tal Abyad, known to Kurds as Gire Spi. The Kurdish taking of the city cut off a key ISIS supply road to Raqqa from The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
.

Ein Eissa's Syrian military base, once held by ISIS elements, was also liberated by YPG fighters days after the Gire Spi victory.
