Khurmatu car bomb kills 5, wounds 15
[Rudaw] At least five people were killed and 15 others injured in the town of Tuz Khurmatu when a jacket wallah set off his car bomb against Shiite Hashd al-Shaabi Saturday."The Hashd al-Shaabi's checkpoint is located in a market in the Shiite neighborhood," Khurmatu Police Chief Farouq Ahmad told Rudaw, adding that his forces have been sent to the kaboom sight to control the security situation. No further details were given on the identity of the victims and no group has yet grabbed credit for the suicide kaboom. Khurmatu is a majority Kurdish city located in Salahadin province 55 miles south of Kirkuk. The city still has substantial Kurdish and Arab populations however, and the mostly Shiite Arab Hashd al-Shaabi have in past months feuded with Kurdish Peshmerga forces despite both factions also fighting the 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.... . Posted by: trailing wife 2015-11-29 |
