[Al Ahram] Officials and residents say hard boyz with the Islamic State Lion of Islam group have seized two small towns in northern Iraq after driving out Kurdish security forces. djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... governor Atheel al-Nujaifi, who fled to the largely autonomous Kurdish region when the Islamic State group and allied Sunni hard boyz seized Iraq's second largest city in June, told The News Agency that Dare Not be Named on Sunday that the towns of Zumar and Sinjar fell after fierce festivities that erupted the day before. Residents of the two towns, who spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of retribution, confirmed al-Nujaifi's account.
