| [EN.ZAMANALWSL.NET] A jacket wallah detonated a boom-mobile at a gathering of Iraqi Sunni tribal leaders, killing 14 people in an attack claimed Wednesday by the 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, police said. "Fourteen people were killed and at least 24 maimed," a police captain said of the Tuesday night bombing in the Baladruz area of Diyala province, north of Baghdad. A medical source at the Baladruz hospital confirmed the toll. The bomber struck "a gathering of notables and figures, most of them from the Al-Nida tribe," the officer said. An army colonel said that the Al-Nida -- a major Sunni tribe in Diyala province -- had supported the government against Islamic State (IS) group jihadists. ISIS claimed the suicide kaboom in an online statement Wednesday, saying a Tajik man carried out the attack. The jihadist group is made up of Sunni Moslems, but does not hesitate to attack Sunnis who oppose it. Iraq announced in January that Iraqi forces had "liberated" Diyala, significant parts of which had been overrun by IS after the jihadists launched a brutally effective offensive last June. |
