1. ISIS claims responsibility for Baghdad bombings

(Parts of the video are downright funny)

Baghdad, Iraq (CNN) — The Islamic State in Iraq and Syria has claimed responsibility for recent suicide bombings in the capital that killed nearly two dozen people, according to SITE Intelligence, which monitors terrorist groups.

ISIS identified the suicide bombers who struck Baghdad on Sunday and Monday as Libyan and Lebanese, SITE reported, citing a website linked to the terror group.

One of the bombings occurred Sunday in the Washash district of Baghdad, when a suicide bomber struck a coffee shop, killing at least a dozen people, security officials told CNN.

4. A couple of websites are reporting that INTERPOL has a warrant out for Imran Firisat, allegedly for making his video about Aisha and Mohamed.

None of the sites making this claim have any actual links to INTERPOL. I would recommend that people ignore this, as several times in the past 8 years spurious claims have been made about INTERPOL searching for people wanted for thought crimes such as Saudi Bloggers or other ‘blasphemers’ which turned out to be not only wholly untrue, but INTERPOL was quite upset at the allegation that they would be thought of as ‘thought-crimes-police’. If an actual link to INTERPOL is found, please put in comments and I will update this post.

*** UPDATE *** There is a warrant at INTERPOL for someone by that name for kidnapping and murder with mutilation

5. More than 50 bodies, including 2 children, found in Iraq

Baghdad, Iraq (CNN) — More than 50 unidentified bodies were found in the predominantly Shiite town of Alexandria on Wednesday, Iraqi security officials said.

Two children were among the dozens of bodies found in different parts of the town.

Details about the circumstances of the deaths were not immediately available, and officials did not say when the people may have been killed.

Thank you Wrath of Khan, Snaphanen.DK, Buck and all who sent in material. It may be worth revisiting yesterday’s article about the discovery of rockets filled with Sarin gas that ISIS has added to its arsenal. The phrase, ‘Nearly impossible to…’ might give one pause.

    • He’s playing the part of Caliph.
      It’d be more natural to pose him with a machine gun in front of an over-crowed, shallow ditch.

  2. Why are we fighting with Gaza, again?

    Because Hamas’s hostility to Israel, as reflected in its relentless rocket manufacture and fire, is its raison d’être.
    […]
    Analysts posit that Hamas is firing some of its vast rocket arsenal because it has nothing much to lose anymore — that it has lost the support of Egypt; that it can’t get the money to pay salaries; that it is retaliating for the deaths of several of its terror operatives in a tunnel that collapsed upon them after Israel had the temerity to attack it; that it is seeking to reassert itself as the only credible “resistance” to Israel…

    But really, again, why the need to “resist” an Israel that has no presence in Gaza, and that has long since internalized the imperative to seek an accommodation with the Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank if this can only be achieved without imperiling Israel’s own existence? Why? Because, for Hamas, hostility to the very fact of Israel’s existence still far outweighs any and all other interests.
