File under: Islamic State of Iraq & the Levant

#1 The article doesn't state who the "militants" are. One would assume Al-Qaeda linked Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant?

#2 I've posted an article for tomorrow that agrees with you, Squinty. But I don't feel qualified to make that judgement if it isn't stated -- I've been learning as fast as I can since I discovered Rantburg, but I was not designed by nature to be an intelligence analyst. From tomorrow's article:

Powerful jihadist group the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant has been blamed for most of the latest attacks, and is believed to be responsible for much of the violence in the country.
