| Syria declares victory over Islamic State |
| 2017-11-09 |
| [Ynet] Syria's army declared victory over 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.... on Thursday, saying its capture of the jihadists' last town in the country marked the collapse of their project in the region. The army and its allies are still fighting Islamic State in desert areas near Albu Kamal, the last town the holy warrior group had held in Syria, near the border with Iraq, the army said. But the capture of the town ends Islamic State's era of territorial rule over the so-called caliphate that it proclaimed in 2014 across Iraq and Syria and in which millions suffered under its hard-line, repressive strictures. |

| #3 Al Nusra has been picking up personnel and some territory from a variety of groups as ISIS has been driven back. So reconquering the caliphate is only the first step for Assad's team, including Hizb'allah and hired Shiite cannon fodder from Iraq and Afghanistan. |
