...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....
of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) terrorist group has grabbed credit for the cycle of violence bomb kaboom that left at least four dead in Jalalabad city.

The loyalists of the terror group released a statement on Monday claiming that the target of the attack was a pro-government gathering in the city.

However,
a good lie finds more believers than a bad truth...
another source (Amaq News) which publishes ISIS reports, claimed that the target of the attack was a vehicle carrying pro-government militia forces.

The incident took place at around 1 pm local time as a large gathering was underway in a stadium in the first police district of the city.

Provincial governor’s front man Attaullah Khogyani confirmed that the kaboom was triggered by a cycle of violence.
