| [RUDAW.NET] 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 has moved large numbers of imported muscle and weapons into the Syrian city of Deir Ezzor to capture a neighborhood still under regime forces, activists reported Wednesday. The jihadi group, known as ISIS or IS, has brought in "huge military reinforcement and non-Syrian fighters to the city of Deir Ezzor," the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) said. "Reliable sources informed SOHR that IS brought military reinforcement to its-held areas in the city of Deir Ezzor" in eastern Syria, it added. "The reinforcement contains ammunition, equipment, cannons as well as non-Syrian bad boys." The reinforcements were brought in for an attack on the al-Jora neighborhood, which together with the city's al-Qusour district have been under control of regime forces and under siege since the start of this year, the sources said. |
