| [RUDAW.NET] Two anonymous gunnies launched a hit-and-run attack on an 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.... radio station inside djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... , the group's stronghold, a Kurdish official said Saturday. Saeed Mamuzini, the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) front man for Mosul, told Rudaw that ISIS immediately after the attack set up a series of checkpoints inside the city to hunt the two assailants. "The attack didn't cause any casualties, and none of the assailants were maimed," Mamuzini said. Al-Bayan radio network airs a news/talk format and broadcasts in Arabic, Kurdish, English, French and Russian. The ISIS radio station has been framed as "highly professional" and compared to NPR and the BBC for tone and quality. Early in April ISIS launched English-language radio news bulletins on Al-Bayan. Al-Bayan's reporting on the group's military operations and propaganda has been referenced by the News Agency that Dare Not be Named and the Washington Post. The group also publishes a monthly online English-language magazine called Dabiq, with religious lessons, plus news about its activities. The magazine is concerned with establishing the religious legitimacy of the terror group and its self-proclaimed caliphate. |

| #2 Probably because they pull Dr. Who from the lineup. The 'Whovians' can be a nasty bunch. |
