| [Iraq News] Iraqi security and allied militias clashed Friday with 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.... Death Eaters near Anbar province’s borders with Syria, with nine Death Eaters left dead according to militia sources. Border guards, backed by al-Hashd al-Shaabi (Popular Mobilization Units) rebuffed an attack by IS Death Eaters from several directions on a checkpoint in Okashat, west of Anbar, according to PMU local leader Wathiq al-Fartousi. In a separate incident, nine Islamic State fighters were killed when security and militia troops detected their convoy near the borders with Syria, according to Shaker al-Rishawi, a commander of a so-called, pro-government "Desert Eagles Brigade". According to Rishawi, who was quoted by al-Journal News website, the forces detected the group near al-Waleed border crossing with Syria. They were trying to pass to IS-held town of al-Qaem, according to Rishawi. He said attempts by IS Death Eaters to sneak into Iraqi soil from Syria have receded by 60 percent due to losses they have been facing in djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... . Is fighters currently have no other route except between Syria’s Boukamal region and Qaem. Anbar’s western towns of Annah, Rawa and Qaem have been under Islamic State control since the group’s emergence in 2014, and thousands of civilians are said to be held as potential human shields, according to local officials. |
