ISIS kills Mosul's Rasheed Radio director
2015-09-14
[RUDAW.NET] A group of ISIS fighters launched an attack on Yahiya Abed Ahmed, the director of djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
's Rasheed Radio, and shot him to death, the Iraqi Observatory for Press Freedoms announced Sunday.
Was this official policy, I wonder, or just some of the lads having a bit too much fun?
"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....
elements launched an attack at dawn on Saturday on the home of Yahiya Abed Ahmed, the manager of Mosul's Rasheed Radio, in a very ugly way and shot him to death," the observatory said in a release.

The gunnies later returned to Ahmed's house, stole his personal computer and told Ahmed's family to come and take his corpse, the observatory added.

In early 2015, ISIS began broadcasting its own programming on 92.5 FM out of Mosul, calling it Al-Bayan Radio. According to an official with the Kurdistan Democratic Party in Mosul, ISIS began Al-Bayan after seizing Rasheed Radio's offices and using its equipment for its own broadcasts.

Al-Bayan can be heard as far away as Erbil and Duhok, and broadcasts in Kurdish, Turkish, Arabic, Russian, French and English.

According to the observatory, the number of journalists executed in Mosul since ISIS took over the city in June 2014 has increased to 46.
