| 2015-09-08 |
| [Libya Herald] Reports that 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.... fighters (IS) attempted to assassinate an army officer in Guba yesterday have been refuted by locals. "No, no! Certainly not!" The reality, the Libya Herald has been told, was that an argument between members of the Libyan National Army's Omar Mukhtar operation room guarding a checkpoint near Ras Hillal degenerated into a shoot-out in which one member was killed. In Dire Revenge, his brother then allegedly shot and killed three of those involved in the incident. After that he is said to have fired an RPG at the house of the officer named as the operations room's front man, Abdulkarim Sabra. |
