| 2015-06-06 |
| [Al Ahram] 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.... forces of Evil have seized another town in Libya, the group and a military source said on Friday, expanding the territory they control in the strifetorn country. The krazed killer group, which controls large parts of Iraq and Syria, has exploited a security vacuum in Libya as two rival governments struggle for power, four years after the ousting of Muammar Qadaffy ...Custodian of Wheelus AFB for 42 long years until he was ejected from the gene pool by his indignant citizens... . Islamic State took over the city of Sirte on Libya's central Mediterranean coast in stages this year, occupying government buildings and last month the city's airport. The group has now also taken over the town of Harwa to the east of Sirte, according to a statement posted on social media. A military source confirmed forces of Evil were controlling Harwa, adding they had taken over government buildings. Islamic State has grabbed credit for the killings of dozens of Egyptian and Æthiopian Christians, the storming of a luxury hotel in Tripoli ...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... and attacks on oilfields as well as suicide kabooms in several cities. The group has a strong presence in the eastern city of Derna and has carried out suicide kabooms in Benghazi, the main eastern city. The government of premier Abdullah al-Thinni has been based in the east since losing the capital Tripoli in August to a rival administration. |
