Really horrible.....

At least 130 are dead in Iraq after a massive bomb attack

In a statement circulated on Twitter, the Islamic State group said the attack was carried out

using three tons of explosives and was in revenge for the killing of Sunni Muslims in Hawija, in neighboring Kirkuk province.

The death toll from a bombing at a crowded marketplace in eastern Iraq climbed to as many as 130 on Saturday, Iraqi officials said, marking the Islamic State’s worst single bombing attack on a civilian target in the country.

Imad Muthanna, a spokesman for the Diyala provincial council, said that in addition to those killed, 20 more people were missing after a suicide bomber drove a truck packed with explosives into a market in Khan Bani Saad on Friday night. A Diyala health official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to give out information, said 126 people had been killed, but expected the number to continue to climb.

“I felt the ground shaking,†said Maj. Ahmed al-Timimi, 35, a policeman who was manning a nearby checkpoint and arrived on the scene about 10 minutes after the bombing. “Most of the market was wiped out. Hundreds of cars were burning, and bodies and human organs were everywhere.â€

Timimi said the emergency services were overwhelmed, and residents transported wounded civilians in shopping carts. “It wasn’t enough. Too many wounded people died before they got to the hospital,†he said, adding that bodies are still being recovered from the wreckage of destroyed buildings.

Islamic State militants, and al-Qaeda before them, have carried out scores of bombings against civilians as they seek to destabilize the country and expand their territory. However, Friday night’s blast was the biggest in Iraq since the group announced its self-declared state a year ago.

ISIS is told to organize suicide attack in Turkey, where ca. 27 people died some hours ago,

but Turkey since Erdogan is more religious, i do not get it,

It's not about religion, it's about power, the religion is only an excuse.

For instance yesterday IS also targeted Hamas and Islamic Jihad in Gaza.

(RFI) Gaza blasts may point to increased IS group activity: analyst

A series of near-simultaneous explosions in the Gaza Strip on Sunday targeted members of the armed branches of Hamas and Islamic Jihad, amid growing tensions between the Palestinian territory's rulers and extremist opponents. There was no immediate claim of responsibility.

The situation is heating up between Turkey and Syria & IS.

(Al Jazeera) Turkish army hits ISIL in Syria after shooting

One Turkish army officer has been killed and two soldiers injured in cross-border gunfire with Syria.

Turkish media reported on Thursday that the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) shot at the Turkish army in Kilis, a Turkish border town, causing the casualties.

Anadolu News Agency reporters told Al Jazeera that the Turkish army immediately retaliated by attacking an ISIL base on Syrian territory, killing at least one fighter.

(The Guardian) Turkey sends fighter jets to Syrian border after soldier killed in clashes

Turkey has scrambled fighter jets to the Syrian border after one soldier was killed and two wounded in cross-border clashes which appeared to signal the first armed confrontation between the country’s forces and the terror group Islamic State.

(Defense One) Turkey Opens Key Air Base for US Strikes On ISIS

Turkey will open up Incirlik Air Force Base, about 250 miles from the Syrian city of Raqqa, to coalition operations against the Islamic State, according to multiple foreign news outlets. The move puts anti-ISIS aircraft, which had been flying some 1,200 miles to strike Islamic State positions, much closer to the various battlegrounds, including Raqqa, the effective capital of the Islamic State in Syria.

Now we'll see how Turskish Army will react to Erdogan permissiveness towards IS.

[Tonci87 163]

The terror bombing in Turkey has made it impossible for Erdogan to keep enough support for his laisez-faire approach towards ISIS. Especially the Army (common soldiers) is pretty pissed off because they had to sit idle and watch ISIS do all kinds of stuff for so long.

[mistyronin 1181]

(BBC) Turkey vows to continue campaign against Islamic State militants

Turkey has vowed to keep up a crackdown on Islamic State (IS) militants, after launching its first air strikes against their positions in Syria.

Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said the strikes were part of a broad "process".

Turkey arrested IS suspects on Friday. It has also said it would let the US use a key airbase to attack IS targets.

The terror bombing in Turkey has made it impossible for Erdogan to keep enough support for his laisez-faire approach towards ISIS. Especially the Army (common soldiers) is pretty pissed off because they had to sit idle and watch ISIS do all kinds of stuff for so long.

I also heard that Erdogan wanted to create some kind of buffer zone invading 60-100km inside Syria to increase his approval rate and also to prevent a Kurdish state. But the Turkish Armed Forces top brass wasn't willing to get themselves immersed in that power-play that would also made them get in the middle of the Syrian / Iraqi / Iranian / IS / Saudi mess.

Seems that Turkey took advantage of the air strikes against ISIS to also attack the Kurdish positions:

(Al Jazeera) Turkey extends bombing raids to PKK targets in Iraq

Turkish warplanes have bombed military positions of Turkey's Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) in neighbouring Iraq, a spokesman for the PKK has said.

The air raids came just hours after Turkish warplanes pounded Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) positions in Syria on Friday morning, marking a significant shift in Ankara's position on how to deal with armed groups in Syria and Iraq.

"At around 11:00pm (20:00 GMT) tonight, Turkish warplanes started bombing our positions near the border, accompanied by heavy artillery shelling," PKK spokesman Bakhtiar Dogan told the AFP news agency.

[mistyronin 1181]

Well seems that the rumors were true.

I also heard that Erdogan wanted to create some kind of buffer zone invading 60-100km inside Syria to increase his approval rate and also to prevent a Kurdish state.

(Al Jazeera) Turkey says parts of Syria to become 'safe zones'

Turkey has said areas in north Syria cleared of fighters belonging to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) group will be turned into safe zones.

Saturday’s announcement made by Mevlut Cavusoglu, the Turkish foreign minister, came just hours after Ankara began bombing ISIL positions in Syria and and Kurdish fighters' camps in northern Iraq.

"When areas in northern Syria are cleared of the (ISIL) threat, the safe zones will be formed naturally," Cavusoglu told a news conference.

"We have always defended safe zones and no-fly zones in Syria. People who have been displaced can be placed in those safe zones."

Several Turkish media outlets had earlier reported the government was considering setting up a 33km-wide safe zone inside Syria, stretching from the outskirts of Kurdish-held Kobane to areas controlled by pro-Western rebel groups.

Its purpose would be to strengthen the rebels’ hand against ISIL and prevent the Kurdish fighters from capturing new border areas.

NATO member bombing PKK troops armed by NATO coalition and fighting IS. Congrats Erdogan :rolleyes:

NATO member bombing PKK troops armed by NATO coalition and fighting IS. Congrats Erdogan :rolleyes:

Not only that. The Kurdish fighters are the most reliable and stable ally of the NATO coalition in the region for more than 10 years. So it's even more silly IMO.

But I'm afraid Turkey has the consent of the US as I suspect that what Erdogan asked in exchange of allowing the coalition to use Turkish air bases was carte blanche to attack the Kurdish.

IMHO the whole situation is a clusterfuck.

[oxmox 73]

The Kurds and Assad are fighting the IS in Syria, Turkey which is a NATO member is now bombing the Kurds aswell.

You have to ask yourself on which side we (NATO) are actually taking part here refering to turkish actions, and its not only about the current bombings but aswell the stories before supporting/safeguard IS.

Kurds Fight the IS Group While Being Bombed by Turkey (New York Times, July 25th)

Turkish jets struck camps belonging to Kurdish militants in northern Iraq Friday and Saturday in what were the first strikes since a peace deal was announced in 2013.

The strikes in Iraq targeted the Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK, whose affiliates have been effective in battling the Islamic State group.

The Kurds of Syria and Iraq have become a major part of the war against the Islamic State group, with Kurdish populations in both countries threatened by the militants' advance. Syrian, Iraqi and Turkish Kurds took part in cross-border operations to help rescue tens of thousands of displaced people from the minority Yazidi group from Iraq's Sinjar Mountain in August last year and they continue to fight in cooperation with one another against the Islamic State group in areas along the Iraq-Syria border.

They have been somewhat effective in limiting the expansion of the Islamic State militants across northern Iraq but there are concerns that Turkish airstrikes on the PKK could jeopardize Kurdish positions.

Kurds are the largest ethnic minority in Syria, making up more than 10 percent of the country's pre-war population of 23 million people.

Since Syria's civil war began, the Kurds have made unprecedented gains, strengthening their hold on the far northeast reaches of the country and carving out territory where they declared their own civil administration in areas under their control. They have demonstrated a surprising resilience in their fight against Islamic State group militants in Kobani, pushing them out in January with the help of U.S.-led airstrikes. More recently last month, they ejected the Islamic State group from their stronghold of Tal Abyad along the border with Turkey, robbing the IS of a key avenue for smuggling oil and foreign fighters.

@What about Assad ? His troops are fighting against IS and other Jihadists aswell, in addition you dont see any news reports about the Syrian Government and their reaction or opinions about the foreign military intervention/bombings. There is no UN resolution about it or infos about agreements, nothing. What an overall mess in Syria.

[ProfTournesol 956]

Assad isn't really fighting against IS, he is withdrawing when it allows IS to fight against other factions. There's a kind of temporary common interest between them ATM.

After the Syrian army debacle in Palmyra a few month ago, they have no choice but counter attacking. I also read Iran was increasing the pressure on Assad for more offensive actions.

Seems that ProfTournesol was completely right.

BTW main piece of news in Al Jazeera's website:

(Al Jazeera) Syria's Assad admits army struggling for manpower

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has vowed to win his country's long-running civil war while acknowledging his troops are struggling to maintain control over territory amid lack of manpower.

In a televised speech on Sunday before local dignitaries in Damascus, the embattled president tried to justify why the Syrian army has given up some areas of Syria, including the northwestern city of Idlib. He said it was due to military priorities.

"It was necessary to specify critical areas for our armed forces to hang on to. Concern for our soldiers forces us to let go of some areas," he said.

"Every inch of Syria is precious," he added.

Syria's army once had around 300,000 members, but it has been significantly reduced in size by deaths, defections and a rise in draft dodging.

"There is a lack of human resources" in the army, Assad said.

"But that doesn't mean we can talk about collapse," he added. "We will resist... the armed forces are capable of defending the motherland."

Yes, in fact seems that Erdogan was looking for that chance a long time ago. From his point of view it's a total win: he distracts the Turkish population from local problems and increases his approval rate, he may even integrate a little territory inside Turkey and weakens the Kurds...

(New York Times) Turkey and U.S. Plan to Create Syria ‘Safe Zone’ Free of ISIS

Turkey and the United States have agreed in general terms on a plan that envisions American warplanes, Syrian insurgents and Turkish forces working together to sweep Islamic State militants from a 60-mile-long strip of northern Syria along the Turkish border, American and Turkish officials say.

The plan would create what officials from both countries are calling an Islamic State-free zone controlled by relatively moderate Syrian insurgents, which the Turks say could also be a “safe zone†for displaced Syrians.

Turkish officials and Syrian opposition leaders are describing the agreement as something just short of a prize they have long sought as a tool against Mr. Assad: a no-fly zone in Syria near the Turkish border. They want such a zone in order to curb devastating Syrian government airstrikes on opposition areas, to allow refugees in Turkey to go home and to insulate Turkey from the war, and they call the new plan a “safe zone†that could achieve some of those goals.

Seems to me that the plan was rushed by Turkey to deny the YPG (Syrian Kurd Militia) from reaching the Mediterranean Sea, hence controlling all the border with Turkey.
