There you have it......ISIL has now taken a Syrian Military base. Which means whatever Tech and equipment Assad had there is now in the possession of ISIL. These guys need to be taken out now. The MB Syrian Backed rebels need to hold up their conflict with Assad and start taking these Terrorists out. Everyone.....needs to get on top of this Immediately. That's everybody......Russians and Europeans included. What say ye? Islamic State fighters have seized a Syrian army base in the northern province of Raqa, killing scores of troops and beheading some of them, a monitoring group said Saturday. But in the central Homs region, government forces recaptured Al-Shaar gas field, seized by IS a week before, the monitor and Syria's army said. The jihadist takeover of the base of Division 17 came as the UN Commission of Inquiry on Syria said IS fighters accused of atrocities would be added to a list of war crimes indictees. "For IS, fighting the regime is not about bringing down Assad. It is about expanding its control," said Abdel Rahman. - US suicide bomber - IS was emboldened by a June offensive in Iraq when swathes of the north and west fell out of Baghdad's control. Syrian rebels say IS transported heavy weapons captured from fleeing Iraqi troops into Syria. Syria's Al-Qaeda affiliate the Al-Nusra Front meanwhile released a video of a young suicide bomber from Florida who blew himself up at an army post in the northwest on May 25. Moner Mohammad Abu Salha, alias Abu Hurayra al-Amriki, was believed to be the first American to carry out such an attack in Syria's war.....snip~ http://news.yahoo.com/jihadist-assault-syria-regime-territory-kills-74-monitor-101849041.html
Bumping this up. Since ISIL took another Military Base. Also are any interested in the American Suicide Bomber who blew himself up at an Army Outpost?
Good news, the Syrian Army appears to have recaptured the Shaer gas field it lost a few weeks ago. A counterattack by syrian special forces appears to have driven ISIS out of the vicinity of the field and the nearby hills have been recaptured, a significant success considering the scale of the assault my ISIS and the size of the force they employed. I can't help but think that if the NDF fighter had taken greater precautions then this whole debacle could have been avoided.
Yeah that was good news.....then losing a Military base, isn't! But now the Baath in Iraq have declared War on ISIL. So another besides Assad that will go after these Terrorists. So that is some good news. Still we will need to know what they took from this Military Base and from Assad.
Update on the American Suicide Bomber. Video shows smiling American bomber in Syria..... An al-Qaida-linked group fighting in Syria has released video of the first American to carry out a suicide attack in the country's civil war, showing him smiling and saying he looked forward to going to heaven. The Nusra Front released the new video late Friday showing American citizen Moner Mohammad Abu-Salha, 22, with other fighters before the May 25 attack that targeted several army positions at the same time. It said two of the other three suicide attackers in the assault in the government-held northwestern city of Idlib were from foreign countries, including one who was identified as being from the Maldives. The video, released by Nusra Front's media arm, al-Manara al-Baydha, was posted on jihadi websites. It corresponded with Associated Press reporting about the attack and Abu-Salha. Opposition forces previously identified the American who carried out the bombing as Abu Hurayra al-Amriki and said he was a U.S. citizen. The name al-Amriki means "the American" in Arabic. Abu-Salha grew up in Florida and attended several colleges before dropping out and moving abroad.....snip~ http://news.yahoo.com/video-shows-smiling-american-bomber-syria-161212677.html
