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.... and Sunni rustics in Fallujah, ... the City of Mosques, which might have somthing to do with why it's not called Center of Prosperityor a really nice place to raise your kids... an Iraqi city that ISIS has held for long, are ongoing since Friday, said local officials, complaining that tribal fighters must be better armed to make territorial gains against the jihadists. "The rustics need to be armed and we are trying to earn them the support from the government as soon as possible," said Saadun Obeid, mayor of Fallujah. "The marksmen of the tribes have taken up positions inside buildings in the neighborhood of Askari eastern Fallujah." Iraqi Sunni rustics and ISIS jihadists engaged in deadly festivities Friday in and near Fallujah in Anbar, Iraq's largest province, which is Sunni dominated. The exiled official responsible for Fallujah, Issa Sayir, told AFP that, "Clashes took place between sons of the al-Mahamda and al-Juraisat tribes against the al-Hisba group." The fighting, he said, took place in al-Jolan to the northwest of the city and expanded to include al-Askari to the east and the Nazal area in the city-center. Deteriorating conditions, described by Anbar Governor Sohaib al-Rawi as having "reached a state of famine," seem to be resulting in more rustics seeking to oust ISIS from their Sunni Arab-majority province. The US has urged Baghdad to win the trust of the Sunni rustics of Anbar and solicit their help when it comes to uprooting ISIS from Anbar. |
