IS mines cause more casualties at Abu Grain
2016-05-23
[Libya Herald] Another officer has been killed and two soldiers maimed near Abu Grain.

According to the media office of the Bunyan Marsous Operations Room, Colonel Mohammed Osuaib was killed when a mine went kaboom! on Saturday night.

However,
Caliphornia hasn't yet slid into the ocean, no matter how hard it's tried...
other military officials say that Osuaib was killed and the other two maimed not at Abu Grain nor in mine kaboom but in the attack early yesterday on the Baghla checkpoint in which former government minister Mohammed Sualim died.

The area around Abu Grain is strewn with mines placed by the so-called 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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
. Several members of the Misratan-led forces have been killed in recent days as a result.

Abu Grain itself is in the hands of the Misratans, with the front line at Al-Wishka 25 kilometres away. However,
Caliphornia hasn't yet slid into the ocean, no matter how hard it's tried...
there are unconfirmed reports that Bunyan Marsous forces are now at Buerat Al-Hasun, 15 kilometres further along the road to Sirte.
