Baghdad looks to be the first place where Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) fighters meet serious resistance on their blitzkrieg through Iraq.
However, this has not stopped the Al Qaeda splinter groups forces from announcing their intended goals. In a video publicly released Thursday night, the jihadi fighters were seen shouting, Towards Baghdad!
ISILs Twitter page said the group had executed 1,700 Shia Iraqi soldiers as of late Thursday. The groups social media page proudly displayed an image of a decapitated head, tweeting, this is our football with the hashtag #WorldCup.
Iraqs Grand Ayatollah Ali Al-Sistani, the countrys most senior Shia cleric, called upon his fellow Shiites to take up arms and defend Baghdad from the Sunni ISIL insurgents. "Citizens who are able to bear arms and fight terrorists, defending their country and their people and their holy places, should volunteer and join the security forces to achieve this holy purpose," said Sistanis spokesman during Friday prayers.
Iran Revolutionary Guard soldiers and their Quds special forces unit have reportedly moved into Iraq, readying their troops to defend the pro-Iranian government of Shia Prime Minister Maliki against the Sunni ISIL terrorist group.

Al Qaeda will win, they will set up their head quarters in Babylon
Quick, send as many ABC/CBS/CNN/MSNBC/NBC teams to Baghdad as possible. Fox can send Shep and Geraldo.
Wait, we wouldn't want "The Leprechaun" to feel left out.
The ten commandments ISIS/L drew up sounded suspiciously Western to me.
They not going do it
Fox news maybe with Sky news help
Al Jazeera America really own this news coverage on Iraq
Hey I wouldn’t mind Fox news send Geraldo there one way ticket LOL!
Hope little Hitler Moqtar puts his army into action.
Shites killing Sunnis and Al Qaeda and vice-versus. Well worth watching on Pay TV.
1. Pres. Bush and Collin Powell to blame for setting the stage for this to happen. Taking Saddam out in 1991 would have given us many more years to help establish a stable government in Iraq.
2. Turns out Paul Bremer really screwed up by his “de-Bathification” of the Iraqi govt after the fall of Saddam.
3. Obama sold out both the Iraqis and America when he arbitrarily took out US troops.
4. Maliki is a Shiite turd and totally incompetent. He has to go.
5. Re Al Qaeda ISIS - take no prisoners
#12: And what is wrong with this scenario?
OH MAN that be funny I doubt it Obama media team is bunch of metrosexual
Syria was the new Lebanon. And Iraq is the new Syria. This will be war of all against all. It will bring in the Turks (NATO allies, Kurds and the Iranians. We’ll see funding by the Saudis and Sunni Gulf States.
And perfectly safe to the media. Obama guarantees their health coverage.

Regime mouthpieces, both those who support the Rohani government and those who support the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) and the ideological camp, accused Saudi Arabia of being behind ISIS activity in Iraq after its defeat in Syria, either on orders from the U.S. and Israel, or independently as a Sunni force combatting Shiites.
