| [NRTTV] Turkish land forces have fired nearly 500 times on 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.... (IS) targets in Syria and Iraq, killing almost 200 Death Eaters in response to a suicide kaboom in Istanbul which killed 10 German tourists, Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said on Thursday (Jan. 14). "After it was understood that this heinous attack was carried out by Daesh [Islamic State], Turkish armed forces fired close to 500 artillery and tank shells on Daesh [Islamic State] positions in Syria and Iraq," Davutoglu told a conference of Turkish ambassadors in the capital Ankara, using an Arabic name for Islamic State (IS). "Shelters of Daesh [Islamic State] in Bashiqa, Iraq as well as Syria, along our border, were hit with all our efforts. Close to 200 Daesh [Islamic State] members including so-called regional leaders were neutralized in the last 48 hours," he added. ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... will also carry out air strikes against the radical Sunni group if necessary and will maintain its "determined stance" until IS fighters leave its border areas, Davutoglu said. "From now on, every hand raised to harm Turkey, every threat against our guests will be retaliated in kind. Our struggle will continue until the terrorist organization Daesh [Islamic State] is completely wiped out from our borders in the short term, as long as they continue to defame the dignity of Islam in the region and in the world," he said. "If they attempt to carry out terrorist attacks against our people and our guests, they should know that we will take every measure and we will retaliate against it. Even now, we continue to punish them with land strikes. Our air forces will also strike if deemed necessary," Davutoglu continued to say. |
