[Rudaw] Police and security forces in Kirkuk have in recent days detained 157 suspected of collaborating with 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 Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... jihadists, officials said Thursday. General Sarhad Qadir, chief of Kirkuk province suburban police, said the raid was necessary as the volatile city had been "more vulnerable to unlawful activities including terrorism." "We have had a series of kidnappings, extortions and killings recently which could destabilize the situation in the city," Qadir said, adding that some of those incarcerated Don't shoot, coppers! I'm comin' out! were Thousands of families fled the violence in southern djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... province to Kirkuk as ISIS overran the area last year. Security officials fear ISIS could recruit the young refugees in Kirkuk for suicide missions. "We already know that ISIS has recruited many of these young people and also sent many infiltrators," Farhad Hama Ali, spokesperson for Kirkuk security forces, told Rudaw. Ali said many of the detainees have already been charged with murder and abduction. Kurdish security forces, known as Asayish, are in charge of patrolling the oil-rich city of Kirkuk with a population of over 1 million people. Kurdish Peshmarga forces entered the city in June last year when the Iraqi Army abandoned the city ahead of ISIS offensive. Posted by: trailing wife 2015-08-28 |
