Nine IS militants killed in U.S.-led coalition airstrike, southwestern Kirkuk
[Iraq News] Nine 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....
Lions of Islam were killed Sunday as an Arclight airstrike launched by the U.S.-led coalition targeted the group’s pockets in southwest of Kirkuk,
... a thick stew of Arabs, Turkmen, Kurds, and probably Antarcticans, all of them mutually hostile most of the time...
a local source said.

"The international coalition jets targeted IS locations in al-Rashad, al-Riyadh and Hawija, southwestern Kirkuk," the source told AlSumaria News on Sunday.

"Nine Lions of Islam were killed, while one of the headquarters of the so-called ’kirkuk State’ was destroyed," the source added.

Security officials say tens of IS families in the group’s so-called Diyala State headed to Hawija after losing the cities they controlled after June 2014.
