| [Rudaw] A newspaper close to the Egyptian government says 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.... -linked bully boyz who attacked troops in the Sinai Peninsula used sophisticated weaponry, including Russian-made Kornet anti-tank missiles. In a graphic on its front page Thursday, el-Watan daily says the attackers also used mortars, anti-aircraft guns and other guided missiles. The attack, which included a wave of suicide kabooms and assaults on security installations by dozens of bad boys, was Sinai's deadliest fighting in decades. Newspapers led their front pages with the attack, with many describing it as a "war." Graphic photographs released by the military showed the bodies of holy warriors killed in the fighting who were wearing combat fatigues. |
