Three Saudi guards killed in suicide, gun attack on Iraq border: ministry

[1000]

Iraq has many Sunnis who still believe in Saddam/Izzat al douri ruling the area, they can't accept the truth that ISIS is ruling so they're supporting it. If not for them there wouldn't be any ISIS in the first place just like you don't see any bombings in southern Iraq, fixing their heads is more important than a military operation as @Abii stated

Already covered in several threads;

From the Iraqi border. It was an attempt to cross the border and attack a border station.

Yes, what a coincidence indeed. Quite scary. It seems that the attack that occurred late Saturday on the Iraqi border station was followed up by this attack.

I just don't understand how a suicide bomber could kill two border guards AFTER they killed the other Daesh member. I would just shot to kill. No need for any arrests or asking any questions. It's clear who they were and what they wanted.

“The patrol traced the two other individuals who attempted to escape. The security men surrounded the two individuals at Arar Valley. The patrol called on them to surrender, but one of them blow himself up while the other was killed by security men. After combing the site, the patrol seized weapons - automatic gun, pistol, hand grenades and explosive belts - in addition to banknotes,” the statement added.

“As a result of the fire exchange and the explosive belt detonation, Brigadier General Awdah Mouawad Al-Balawi, Corporal Tariq Mohammed Halawi and Private Yahya Ahmed Najmi were killed; and Colonel Salem Taasan Al-Anzi and Private Yahya Ahmed Muqari were injured and rushed to the hospital for treatment. Their health condition is stable.”

Other reports say that in total 4 Daesh were killed. 2 of them blew themselves up.

Okaz is saying 2 border guards killed and 1 wounded. That was just 1.5 hours ago.

Al-Watan on the other hand is saying what Al-Arabiya also wrote. 3 border guards killed and 4 Daesh killed.

What is clear is that the attack happened during the late night while it was still dark.

The border post where the attack occurred;

Reinforcements apparently sent to Arar:

The Saudi Arabian Brigadier General (Awdah Mouawad Al-Balawi) killed in that suicide attack;

There are photos of the dead Daesh retards but obviously I cannot post them.

No other option but to exterminate the scum and their supporters.

Funny,,, how this terroist organization like to call it self ´ISIS´ already smell conspiracy.
However, its shame for any regime that a terroist organization is thriving in land locked desert! where as hundreds of Afghan volunteers, pass through same desert unharmed and report in the ranks of Butchar Asad. !

it's a deep routed problem exacerbated by the fact that there's a full-on civil war next door in Syria where nation-states and private individuals looking to earn a quick buck have very generously provided rebels with weapons ranging from small arms to AA guns anti materiel weapons even man portable AA systems....and you clearly have a number of individuals in the Muslim world and the EU/Australia who are happy to leave their families to fight a war that isn't theirs

there will be another Re-Awakening......even when Zarqawi was getting strong years back, he drew a lot of support from former baathist strongholds. Eventually it was the dis-enfranchised Sunnis who supported the govt. efforts against Zarqawi and like-minded groups.

Until this "arab spring" bullshit Iraq was actually stabilizing and terrorism was down

but the ISIS spares nobody who goes against them and many Sunnis have become dis-enfranchised by their brutality and anti-national activities

that is at least my understanding on it

 

[al-Hasani]

Chickens coming home to roost.



Lets see what the young Saudi is capable off.

I never knew that Iraq and Syria suddenly turned into KSA. Fellow Arab countries or not. Worry about another 7/7 instead imbecile. Or about dying out in 150 years time due to too low birth rates.

 

[Mosamania]

Reading on news from Saudi sources apparently it happened like this, 4 terrorists from the Iraqi side wielding assault rifles, hand guns, bulletproof vests and hand grenades started attacking a border a post from the Iraqi side. Saudi border guards killed two in the fighting and then two feigned surrender, one of the terrorists hid an explosive inside his colon, and when the General came to inspect the scene and interrogate the suspects the terrorist blew the explosive that was hidden inside of him.

There will be, but they will keep wandering in their dreams like idiots, nothing I can do about stubborn & uneducated animals, they wanted Saddam now they got ISIS massacring them still some will blame the Safavid. They are braindamaged, it takes a new generation to change that.

that´s clear... i understand that... i was just trying to analyse the position of the suspicious ´ISIS´
look at the example of Srilanka, difficult terrain..local people, yet with proper strategy, first they surround the TT and slowly/ steady they cleaned their lands, after that they raise the vigilance on their waters.... denying entry of terrorist and exit of wannabe terrorists. I´m sure you know it all.
In same way... if Iraq regime wish, it can squeeze land to terrorist and can block their supplies and the menace can be over within days...
However, Pakistan can´t apply this technique because state from other side is running the terror show.
This is how i see it... simple!

one of the terrorists hid an explosive inside his colon

wonder what else he used to accommodate in there

Sri Lanka had the luxury of being an island. But they accepted Pakistani and Chinese cooperation and jointly (SL led the efforts) sent those scum bags to the bottom of indian ocean

the media and the masses and the polity worked hand in hand...in Pakistan we face a complex geographic cross-over but also the pillars of the state, until more recently, were not on the same page. THAT was the primary problem. Not to mention that only until the late 2000s did army training incorporate counter insurgency in its manuals. We have learned alot on the job and are now getting very good at it. COIN is a whole other ball game as you are probably aware already.

There will be, but they will keep wandering in their dreams like idiots, nothing I can do about stubborn & uneducated animals, they wanted Saddam now they got ISIS massacring them still some will blame the Safavid. They are braindamaged, it takes a new generation to change that.

Iraq, sadly - has a violent history with such things taking place.

We in Pakistan pray for your nation's unity and success. Despite the sadness, Iraq has offered a lot to the world and Inshallah this will be a closed chapter. Unity is the need of the hour.

RIP to the fallen soldiers.

It is the responsibility of the members of the Arab League (and Turkiye) to devise a strategy to end this horrible menace of terrorism in Iraq/Syria region. Collective military/intel sharing and other support to Iraq is key to solving the problem.

It's also a good time for Saudi and Iran to mend their bad relations since both should be against ISIS

terrorists would finally come back to attack the ones who created them, look around for examples.

Border guards were doing their job and had nothing to do with creating the terrorist.

Oh, I guess you are of the same opinion when it comes to Taliban? Already forgot the Peshawar school massacre and hundreds of other terrorist attacks? KSA is one of the safest countries on the planet. Where is Pakistan in comparison? You tell me.

ISIS was not created by KSA. None of the leaders are from KSA. Despite KSA neighboring Iraq and having very close historical, tribal, ancestral etc. ties with the Sunni Arab population (basically the same people - Southern Shia Arabs even more so) Tunisians still outnumber Saudi Arabians.

Provide proof or keep quite. Al-Qaeda/Daesh has existed for 25 years now and for each year we have heard that KSA is going to fall tomorrow. Here 25 years later KSA is stronger than ever and the biggest economy in the region with one of the most powerful militaries. Despite being located in the center of the ME surrounded by 3 continents.

There is no way that Daesh will ever succeed. The holy lands are safe. The Baghdadi clown called for an uprising in KSA 3 months ago and so far there have been 2 attacks. Yes, the populace are really rallying to the clowns call. Keep dreaming.

the suspects the terrorist blew the explosive that was hidden inside of him.

You mean inside the body???

Sorry but i have to dig deep in it.. being violent is one thing but running sustained and successful gorilla operations, under the nose of top world armies, for long period of time... can´t be delivered from violent or foreign head.
It requires, lots of acclimatized and cool heads.... and such cool dudes would not play the ball, without security of big returns.
A sustained war against top world states, would require access to some sort of federal reserves, require invisible supply chain management, invisible human resource, invisible training camps, heavenly intelligence!
In the end, question pop, why to invest all the money, efforts, ... knowingly that they will gain nothing but enemies.

While when we investigate.. we only see one state having no record of huge chunks of cash and in some case weapons too, when we look at possible roots of supplies.. it can´t be KSA, Turkey or Syria.... it narrows down Iraq itself... and how many cool dudes Iraq govt. have.... is any one´s guess.
i simply can´t see the jig saw fitting together.
