...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.... forces of Evil included the names of two Lebanese engineers who planned to carry out suicide kabooms, LBCI reported on Friday. Engineer graduates Abou Khattab al-Tamimi (1988) from the Bekaa area of Bouwerij and Abou Shadi al-Lebnani (1982) from the town of Qaraoun were listed among the names of 122 IS suicide attackers. Syrian opposition news website Zaman al-Wasl published the documents that included the identities of 122 suicide attackers listed in the documents of the IS under the title Moujahid Documents | ||
