Car bombed in Derna
2015-07-08
[Libya Herald] A car went kaboom! in Derna yesterday afternoon in what is seen as a Dire Revenge attack against 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....
(IS).

A homemade explosive, thought to be a "gelatina" bomb, was placed under the vehicle in the town centre's Shara Al-Maghar. The car, which was burned out, is said to belong to a local supporter of IS who has disappeared.

There have been a number of similar attacks on vehicles and properties belonging to IS supporters since the group was forced out of the town last month.

Meanwhile,
...back at the buffalo wallow, Standing Buffalo drew a bead on his old enemy and squeezed the trigger...
speaking on Nabaa TV, a front man for the Shoura Council of the Mujahideen in Derna, Hafed Al-Daba, confirmed that the six members of IS condemned to death for killings and bombings had been executed.

He also said that the council was getting no money from either Beida or Tripoli
...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn...
but was being funded by a number of individual Libyans as well as from people in Derna.
