| [DAWN] At least seven Sunni mosques and dozens of shops in eastern Iraq were Molotov cocktailed on Tuesday, security sources and local officials said, a day after 23 people were killed there in two blasts claimed by 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.... Ten people were also shot and killed in Muqdadiya, 80 km northeast of Baghdad, security and hospital sources said. At least two Sunni mosques south of Baghdad were attacked last week after a Shia holy man was executed in Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... , triggering angry reactions in Iraq and neighboring Iran. At the height of Iraq's civil war nearly a decade ago, such mosque attacks often unleashed Dire Revenge killings and counter attacks across the country. Officials tried on Tuesday to head off further violence, condemning the mosque attacks as well as Monday's bombings which Islamic State said had targeted Shias. |
