Dora Under Cordon…Conflicts Between Insurgent Groups Are Increasing
Security
(Al Mada Newspaper) - 4 JUN - While joint forces cordon the Dora area (the Tuma, Mualamin, Iskan, Abu Dcshir, Athorin and Zahour areas). These areas are witnessing a tense quiet from new conflicts between Al Qaida and the joint forces. Conflicts between Al Qaida and other killer groups such as the 1920 Revolutionary Battalions and the Islamic Army have increased. Three days ago, Al Qaida killed two young Sunni men in the Iskan area because the two victims criticized Al Qaida’s behavior.
Also, a few weeks ago Al Qaida stole the houses and family cars of Sunni families who rejected to work with Al Qaida. On another side, artillery is still being fired at the Buaitha and Abu Dcshir areas from unknown locations. Most of Dora’s families hope that the security forces succeed in eliminating all the terrorist groups. They also demand the government fix the electricity problem and clean the trash from the area. Dora residents said that the current cordon by the security forces has helped to decrease the violence but there is still some violence there.
