Three killed, 26 others kidnapped in Syria
[Dawn] Suspected 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.

group Lions of Islam on Saturday killed three truffle hunters and kidnapped at least 26 others in northern Syria, a war monitor said.

"Armed men likely affiliated with IS cells targeted truffle hunters in the desert southeast of Aleppo, killing three by cutting their throats and kidnapping at least 26 others, including women," said the Syrian Observa­tory for Human Rights.

Syrian state media did not report the incident. The Britannia-based group claimed the attack on the civilians happened near positions held by pro-Iran

forces.

Between February and April each year, hundreds of impoverished Syrians search for truffles in the vast Syrian Desert, or Badia — a known hideout for jihadists that is also littered with landmines.

Since February, 139 people — 120 of them civilians — have been killed by IS attacks targeting truffle hunters or mines left by the murderous Moslems, according to the observatory.

Syria’s desert truffles fetch high prices in a country battered by 12 years of war and a crushing economic crisis. Foragers risk their lives to collect the delicacies despite repea­ted warnings about landmines and IS fighters.
