2016-01-28
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Russia's federal tourism agency on Wednesday issued a warning that Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) were planning to abduct Russian citizens in The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
"According to the competent agencies, leaders of the ISIS terrorist group plan to take hostages from among Russian citizens in Turkey," it said in a statement.

"Hostages can be transferred on to territories controlled by hard boyz to hold public executions and to be used as human shields in combat with Syrian government and coalition forces," it added.

"Therefore we draw the attention of all independent tourists departing for Turkey to the necessity of taking all possible measures to ensure personal security."

Turkey had been Russia's number one foreign tourism destination for years but this came to an abrupt end following the shooting down of a Russian military plane by Turkish jets on the Syria-Turkey border in November.
