There are plenty of security doubts across Iraq, but four rocket strikes that hit the Baghdad Airport today are really raising eyebrows about the risk to the nation’s most important air terminal.
The rockets didn’t hurt anybody, and airport officials say they didn’t effect any flights this time, but the uncertainty about whether or not flights are safe out of Baghdad.
Though Baghdad itself is a magnet for militant attacks, 14 separate checkpoints between the city and the airport terminal itself have long kept the airport safely out of range of such strikes.
The rockets were identified as Katyushas, popular with militants across the region, and two reportedly hit near the runway, with two others hitting the road near the airport itself. No group has claimed responsibility for the strikes.
Do they have to take responsibility? WE KNOW WHO THEY ARE, DON'T WE? All, and I mean ALL militants are Salafi fundamentalists. It hardly matters what path they took in getting there, the point is, they are now the God's fighers for Khalifate under Wahhabi Kingdom. Same as the one in Syria, or the ones in Lybia, or the ones that took down Morsi in Egypt. And that tried to take down Erdogan in Turkey. So, the region is going to be either controlled by empire, or will succumb to chaos, death and destruction, kill their economy, destroy generations. They have their choice.
"In my imagination, All, and I mean ALL militants are Salafi fundamentalists."
There, fixed that for ya.
