IS Attack on Kurdish Base in Iraq Kills Two
[An Nahar] Suicide attackers from 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.... group killed two Kurdish peshmerga forces Sunday in an operation against a base in northern Iraq, officers said. "Two members of the peshmerga were killed and five maimed in a suicide kaboom on K1 base," a major general in the peshmerga told AFP on condition of anonymity. He said five gunnies wearing suicide belts attacked the base, where he said foreign advisers from the U.S.-led coalition assisting Iraq against the jihadists were stationed. "The attack was thwarted and all the attackers were killed," the officer. Wista Rasool, another senior peshmerga officer in the area, confirmed the attack, which targeted a base between the Kurdish-controlled city of Kirkuk and the IS-held town of Hawija. IS has been trying to defend the city of djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... , its last major stronghold in the country, against a massive six-month-old offensive.
