| Afghan officials say Islamic State group operating in south |
| 2015-01-13 |
| [Ynet]. Afghan officials confirmed for the first time Monday that the holy warrior 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.... group is active in the south, recruiting fighters, flying black flags and, according to some sources, even battling Talibs. The sources, including an Afghan general and a provincial governor, said a man identified as Mullah Abdul Rauf was actively recruiting fighters for the group, which controls large parts of Syria and Iraq. General Mahmood Khan, the deputy commander of the army's 215 Corps, said that within the past week residents of a number of districts in the southern Helmand ...an Afghan province populated mostly by Pashtuns, adjacent to Injun country in Pak Balochistan... province have said Rauf's representatives are fanning out across the province to recruit people. |

| #9 Hang tough Incredulous, see you soon. Opening up a recruiting station, branching out, little of both? Tourists? "Hey guys, just out looking for Mountain Goats." "Well you are in luck, there are two tied up by that post there. Hazif seems to like you." |

| #4 Let us hope that this farewell will turn out to be a just in case, and you'll be back among us soon, dear Incredulous. You don't comment much, but I always notice with pleasure when you do -- an old friend speaking up yet again. With that belief I say au revoir, not farewell, because medical miracles happen surprisingly often. |
