CTS foils suicide attack in western Mosul
2017-04-06
[Iraq News] Iraqi Counter-Terrorism forces managed to foil a suicide kaboom in the western side of the city of djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
, Alsumaria News reported on Wednesday.

The Iraqi media outlet revealed that forces from the elite Counter-Terrorism Service were able to repulse a suicide attack, using a booby-trapped vehicle, launched 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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....

The CTS forces also killed the driver of the booby-trapped vehicle, as well as dismantling his boom belt, without inflicting any human or material losses on the security forces.
