[Centraal] Crisis in Syrië #240 Takfiri's door de gehaktmolen

The Takfiri terrorists in Syria have reportedly launched a mortar attack on the city of Ramtha in the far northwest of Jordan, wounding two civilians.

Jordanian state media said on Saturday that two mortar shells fired by the militants in Syria hit a neighborhood of Ramtha located north of the capital Amman.

Yousef Tahat, director of the Ramtha hospital, confirmed that the attacks wounded two Jordanian citizens, who received treatment.

On February 6, Jordan’s fighter jets carried out a series of new retaliatory air strikes against the hideouts of the ISIL terrorists in Syria after the ruthless killing of the Jordanian pilot, Moaz al-Kassasbeh, at the hands of the Takfiri terrorists two days earlier.

The ISIL released a video online showing the Takfiri terrorists set alight the 26-year-old Jordanian pilot, who had been taken hostage in December 2014. The video showed Kassasbeh dressed in an orange jumpsuit and getting surrounded by flames of fire inside a cage.

The pilot had been captured by ISIL militants when his plane went down in northern Syria during a mission against the terrorist group.

Jordanian King Abdullah II has pledged to step up the fight against the ISIL and other militant groups.

ISIL, with members from several Western countries, controls parts of Syria and Iraq, and has been carrying out horrific acts of violence such as public decapitations and crucifixions against all communities such as Shias, Sunnis, Kurds and Christians.

Jordan has been hosting secret US bases set up to train militants fighting the Syrian government. The militancy has led to the expansion of ISIL.

Ramzan Kadyrov has accused the US and other Western nations of “spawning” the Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) terrorist group in order to incite hatred towards Muslims all over the world.

“Today, no one doubts the fact that this group has been spawned by America and other Western countries in order to spark hatred of Islam in the hearts of people all over the planet, to stop the process of mass conversion to Islam,” the head of the Chechen Republic wrote on his Instagram page.

Kadyrov also suggested the West was backing IS in order to distract public attention from numerous problems in the Middle East, in the hope of destroying Islamic nations from inside.

Ramzan Kadyrov is a devoted Muslim known for his staunch support of believers and his opposition of radical movements within Islam.In September last year, he vowed to destroy the Islamic State, after the group threatened to attack Russia. The threat surfaced in a video message and was a reply to Moscow’s support of Bashar Assad.

In November, Kadyrov announced that the source of the threat - Islamic State military commander “Omar the Chechen” had been eliminated. "That will happen to everyone who threatens Russia and the people of Chechnya. This will happen to everyone who sheds Muslims' blood," the head of the Chechen Republic wrote in his Instagram, posting a photo of what he said was the terrorist’s dead body.

Prior to this the Chechen leader had told reporters that he possessed information that the IS leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, had been recruited to work for the US personally by General David Petraeus, the former director of the CIA, and former commander of coalition forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. At that time, Kadyrov claimed the Islamic State “was acting on orders from the West and Europe.”

Last year, a veteran Russian intelligence officer also suggested the West had played a crucial role in the birth of the Islamic State group. “There are some grounds to suspect American and British special services might support the Islamic extremists in order to target the territorial integrity of the Russian Federation,” Lieutenant-General Nikolai Pushkaryov, formerly of the Central Intelligence Directorate of the Russian General Staff, said in an interview with RIA-Novosti.

“The top command of these movements could be under the influence of NATO agents,” he added.

Russia recognizes the Islamic State as a primary threat and has pledged support to countries and groups fighting against the organization. However, in September 2014, Russia refused to join the US-led anti-IS coalition, blaming its members for using double standards and breaching international law.
