It seems some adherents of Islam are still living in the dark ages...
(Al Jazeera) — Al-Qaeda
fighters have struck a bloody blow in scenes of medieval violence in
Syria’s northern border-town of Jarabulus. Fighting came to a head on
January 17, between rebel groups Liwa al-Tawhid Brigade and the
al-Qaeda-linked Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) in the town,
when reinforcements arrived from Raqqa and reclaimed the city in a
brutal four-hour battle.
By nightfall, at least 10 men had been beheaded, their heads mounted on spikes, and more than 1,000 refugees fled the 3kms across the border to Turkey.
It’s a shocking turn of events for residents and Free Syrian Army
(FSA) fighters alike, who just a week ago believed they were hours away
from expelling the al-Qaeda group from their city altogether after
surrounding the last 40 fighters in the city’s cultural centre.
