[NPASYRIA] On Monday, thirteen members of the Syrian government forces were killed in an attack by gunnies of the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
"ISIS" in al-Sukhnah town, west of Deir ez-Zor, eastern Syria.

"Thirteen members were killed and five others were arrested in an attack by ISIS gunnies that targeted a government forces’ night bus on the main road in al-Sukhnah desert, which was heading to Deir ez-Zor," a military source of the Fourth Division of the government forces said.

"The bus was transporting members of the government forces from their place of service in Homs to a another headquarters in Deir ez-Zor," the source added.

After the attack, the government forces brought in reinforcements to the scene of the incident to comb the desert and search for detainees.

Also, on Monday dawn, ISIS gunnies attacked government forces points in the town of Kobajjep, south of Deir ez-Zor.

ISIS gunnies targeted the government forces’ points near the town of Kobajjep, with RPG launchers, which led to the injury of several members and the damage of two vehicles, and then ISIS withdrew towards the depth of the desert, according to a source.
