| [ALMANAR.LB] A Tunisian border guard was killed in a shootout with Lion of Islam murderous Moslems on the border with Algeria, officials said Monday, in an attack claimed by the North African country's main Takfiri ...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who must be killed... group. Finance Minister Slim Chaker said one guard was killed and three others maimed when they were "attacked close to the Bouchebka border post" late Sunday. "We are taking measures to transport (the maimed) to a military hospital as soon as possible," he told Mosaique FM radio, adding two guards were in a serious condition. Ridha Ennasri, president of the union of border guards, confirmed to AFP that a border guard was killed in "a terrorist attack". The shooting was claimed by the Okba Ibn Nafaa Brigades, an Al-Qaeda-linked Lion of Islam organization that has claimed a string of attacks in Tunisia. In a message circulated on Takfiri forums the group said it had "ambushed" the guards. The killing comes days after a Tunisian policeman was rubbed out by two assailants on a cycle of violence in the coastal resort of Sousse. Authorities have been unable to say whether that killing was carried out by murderous Moslems and an investigation is ongoing. In June, a Takfiri gunman killed 30 Britons and eight other foreign tourists on a beach in Sousse in an attack claimed by the Takfiri group, ISIL (so-called 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.... in Iraq and Levant). |
