| [Rudaw] ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... bombed targets just across its border in Syria on Monday in direct response to rocket fire earlier the same day that hit a school in Turkey's Kilis province, killing a woman and injuring a student. According to Hurriyet Daily News the Turkish military determined that the fire had come from border areas in Syria in the northwestern Azaz region, controlled by the 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.... (ISIS) terrorist group. After three Katyusha rockets hit the school, the Turkish military responded by bombarding ISIS positions across the border with artillery. That came just days after Turkey claimed it killed 200 members of ISIS, following its bombardment of positions in both Iraq and Syria, in response to a suicide kaboom in Istanbul a week ago in which 10 Germans died. |
