Mosul Governor survives assassination attempt
2017-04-11
[Iraq News] A group of gunnies on Sunday shot up the convoy of djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
Governor Nofal Hammadi al-Sultan in eastern Mosul, but the official survived the liquidation attempt.

Iraqi Army Colonel Ahmad al-Jubouri told Anadolu Agency that the attack was foiled after his bodyguards engaged the assailants.

No casualties were reported and there has been no claim of responsibility as well.

Eastern Mosul is the area where the Iraqi forces earlier in January announced it as fully liberated from 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....
; however, the murderous Moslem group continues challenging the stability in these areas by conducting assaults either on the armed forces or on the civilians.
