where they have their support and where they have their the people that back them, and where they get their support come on. sunni movement. baghdad is a shia city. baghdad is shia. all the places they attacked are shia. this is a shia/sunni assault. so, we can expect more and can we expect i mean, isis, do you expect that isis is going to try to move in and almost take over baghdad or do you just expect that isis will just try to terrorize baghdad? no. i didn t say that right. listen even attacking baghdad is a victory for isis. what they have done is they have taken all of anbar anbar goes to the west. what they have done is they have taken all of anbar. they control ramadi. they control fallujah. and what they are going to do is they are going to launch attacks into baghdad they are really going to freak out the
charles, what happened in baghdad? this is two mawive bombs that attacked hotels, luxury hotels. this is north going to be the end of this. i don t think anyone should be really surprised. as soon as they established positions around ramadi, which is very close and fallujah i mean, you had to expect some attack on baghdad. i think this is a huge victory, symbolically for isis. and they are going to continue these attacks. well, charles sort of the thinking on in this part of the world is that isis wanted their territory. they got it with ramadi. they were building their caliphate, and the hope was that they weren t going to go further down into baghdad. so now we see that they have actually moved into baghdad so it sounds like that they have much greater aspirations in iraq. well, let s talk about what that really means. had what you are talking about is shia vs. sunni. isis is a sunni movement
academy. so you are saying the academies are responsible for creating this? no. i m just saying that the academy is the first place that the police officer encounters and that the academy has a great responsibility to give them a focus. what happens when you get into the precinct where you are stationed that s where you make the decision as to what type of police officer you will be. you want to fit in. wayne nice to see you. thank you sir. thank you. this is a fox news alert. isis striking not just once, but twice. and not just in one country but in two different countries. first two bombs exploding in two luxury hotels in baghdad killing 15 and suicide bomb in saudi arabia. that bomb detonated outside a packed mosque. fears it is spreading across the region. we will take you there live. our team coverage starts in iraq with grn correspondent charles mcdermott.
most of saudi shiites live in the eastern province. that s also where the mostly the oil riches of the kingdom come from. the so-called islamic state isis has taken responsibility for the bombing. and this was the second bombing on a shiite mosque in saudi arabia in just over a week. well, all right this further exexpands on the thought that this is not just a land grab by i isis is. i mean, they are going into the shiite area of saudi arabia and this is, i mean, clearly sectarian war. the shiite vs. sunni. this is not a land grab in iraq. well, what s worrying is the broader context of why and where and what s happening. so beyond the tragedy of this one attack and the idea of the land grab and expansion. the context is worrying because shiites in the region are saying that this is a clear attempt by isis to ignite sectarian strife in the region and destabilize saudi arabia.
populist. populace. the vietnamese never took saigon. they just stayed outside of it. and in a way they controlled the way the population. well, it s very disturbing scenes that we re seeing out of baghdad with those two bombs at those luxury hotels. charles, thank you. now to more disturbing news a suicide bomber blasting a mosque in saudi arabia and isis viciously bragging responsibility. grn middle east correspondent in the region reporting from dubai. what s happening in saudi arabia? well, this explosion happened friday morning our time here in the middle east and friday is the start of the weekend and the holliday for muslims. a major day for gathering. four people were killed, most likely including this attacker and many more were injured when a bomb went out outside the shiite mosque.
