Ramadan Offensive: Al Qaeda Sets 20 Tankers Ablaze, Kidnaps Drivers
Desperate for headlines, cos at least one side understands it’s a media war…
Falluja, Sept 18, (VOI)- Armed groups set a number of oil tankers ablaze on the highway outside of Samarra, a police source said on Tuesday.
“An armed group burned more than 20 oil tankers on the Samarra to Anbar road between Anbar and Salah el-Din province and kidnapped a number of drivers on Tuesday morning,” the source told the independent news agency Voices of Iraq (VOI) on condition of anonymity.
“Most of the trucks’ drivers, from Anbar and Salah el-Din provinces, are carrying crude oil from Baiji refinery to export it to Jordan and Syria through Anbar,” he added.
“A number of the kidnapped drivers managed to escape,” the source also said.
The Samarra to Anbar road is 100 km north of Baghdad. It links Baghdad to Anbar and Salah el-Din.
Be respectful of others and their opinions. Inflammatory remarks and inane leftist drivel will be deleted. It ain’t about free speech, remember you’re in a private domain. My website, my prerogative.

Desperate for headlines is a good way of putting it. That’s how AQ sells itself to other irhabiis and plays the VN card to the Dhimis in the west.
