[Iraq News] A Lion of Islam was killed when a bomb he was trying to plant in a country road in Diyala went kaboom!, an official said Friday.

Reports about 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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
murderous Moslems dying in kabooms while trying to emplace bombs have been recurrent since Iraqi forces launched a campaign in 2016 to retake areas controlled by the group.

Islamic State, almost losing its main holdout in djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
to a security operation running since October, has been escalating attacks at other provinces where it still has a presence.

Government and tribal forces have launched occasional operations over the past few months to clear border regions between Diyala and Salahuddin, killing dozens of Lion of Islams. IS fighters have also responded with occasional attacks targeting troops, leaving several deaths.
