| New Video Shows Islamic State Training Camp In Iraq | |
| 2014-10-14 | |
| [IsraelTimes] new 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.... video, posted online Saturday, documents what appears to be a group of volunteer fighters graduating from a training camp in Iraq.
An excerpt of the video was translated by MEMRI, the Middle East Media Research Institute, an Israel-based watchdog. A longer six-minute clip was uploaded to YouTube on Saturday. The recording offers a rare glimpse into the training methods employed by the group, which barreled through an outmatched Iraqi army earlier this year, capturing a series of towns and forcing thousands of civilians to flee their extreme version of Islamic rule. The new fighters demonstrated the skills they have learned by simulating rescue operations while being fired at, rehearsing hand-to-hand combat techniques, and assembling and disassembling weapons. In a display of physical strength, one instructor can be seen kicking each fighter in the stomach. Toward the end of the video, a holy man addresses the new ââmujahideen,â telling them that stepping foot onto the battlefield is only the first step for those destined for martyrdom. The training took place at the al-Ansari military camp in Nineveh, approximately 100 kilometers from the Islamic State stronghold of djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... , which the group captured earlier this year. The area is home to hundreds of thousands of minorities, most of whom have fled in fear of persecution by the Islamists. A US-led coalition has battered the group from the air in a bid to keep fighters from continuing their advance, mainly in Iraq. In Syria, Kurdish fighters have managed to hold off an IS sally into the border city of Kobani, pleading for international help. On Saturday, Islamic State fighters reached the outskirts of Baghdad, threatening the Iraqi capital for the first time. According to the MEMRI, this clip is the first installment in a series called The Blood of Jihad. | |

| #1 The training took place at the al-Ansari military camp in Nineveh, approximately 100 kilometers from the Islamic State stronghold of Mosul A question: If the IS can set up a camp in Nineveh, why the hell aren't we bombing it into dust? Why are letting people graduate? Why are we turning them into blobs of molten grease? This looks like the mother of all target opportunities. |
