’ISIS’ Booby-Traps Dolls!
Local Editor
Iraqi forces prevented a major "ISIS" attack as they found and disabled 18 booby-trapped dolls with explosives only inside the north of the capital Baghdad.
The barbaric plan was to scatter all the dolls alongside the road between Baghdad and Karbala, through which millions of Shia Muslims walk the path every year to commemorate the "Arbaeen."
The "Arbaeen" is the end of the 40-day mourning period following the anniversary of the martyrdom of the grandson of the Holy Prophet Mohammed [PBUH], Imam Hussein [AS].
Relatively, new records of numbers of pilgrims remarked a huge increase in 2014, totaling 17.5 million people.
All the discovered dolls were found in the suburb of "Husseiniya", located northeast of Baghdad; and the Iraqi authorities asked residents to report any suspicious objects.
Meanwhile, northern and western Iraq have been engulfed in violence as "ISIS" militants attempt to take over more territories.
Earlier in the week, Kuwait uncovered an international cell that supplied "ISIS" group with weapons bought in Ukraine, as well as funds and new recruits.
Six members were arrested, but four others, including Australian-Lebanese nationals, remain on the run abroad.
