| Syria's Al-Nusra Calls on Jihadists in Caucasus to Attack Russia [AnNahar] Al-Nusra chief Abu Mohammed al-Jolani also threatened Moscow, saying its air war would have dire consequences. "If the Russian army kills the people of Syria, then kill their people," he said late Monday in a call to jihadists in the Caucasus. "And if they kill our soldiers, then kill their soldiers. An eye for an eye." "The war in Syria will make the Russians forget the horrors that they found in Afghanistan," Jolani said, referring to the disastrous Soviet attempt to subdue the country in the 1980s. Moscow's strikes have concentrated on areas in northwestern Syria where Al-Nusra has a powerful presence, mostly in the province of Idlib. IS Urges jihad on Russia, U.S. as Syria Strikes Intensify [AnNahar] "Russia will be defeated," IS front man Abu Mohammed al-Adnani said in a recording posted online, calling on "Muslims everywhere to launch jihad against the Russians and the Americans", who it said were waging "a crusader war against Muslims". Russia said Tuesday its air force had hit 86 "terrorist" targets in Syria in the past 24 hours -- the highest one-day tally since it launched its bombing campaign on September 30. Among them, it said, were several IS targets. |

| #4 I take this to signify that the strikes are working. And please note, they never complain about US bombings. And perhaps the nouveau Jihadi in Syria have forgotten how the Russians dealt with the Chechnya affair not so long ago. Be careful who you antagonize within Mama Rus. They are not EU wankers nor the US. |

| #2 Russia has always been afraid of Islamic terrorist attacking its soft underbelly. Looks like ISIS is moving up the time table. |

| #1 If the Russian army kills the people of Syria, then kill their people With Muslims, it's always comes to the question of who're better killers. |
