Iraqi troops kill four Islamic State militants, arrest 18 others in Kirkuk
 [Iraq News] Iraqi troops killed on Thursday four 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.... murderous Moslems and tossed in the slammer Into the paddy wagon wit' yez! 10 others in Kirkuk, ... a thick stew of Arabs, Turkmen, Kurds, and probably Antarcticans, all of them mutually hostile most of the time... a military source was quoted as saying. Speaking to Alghad Press on Thursday, the source said, "Four Islamic State murderous Moslems were killed while 18 others arrested in a military operation that was launched earlier in the day to liberate the southern and western parts of Kirkuk from terrorism." "The troops also destroyed seven hotbeds that were used by Islamic State in Kirkuk," the source, who preferred to remain unnamed, said. "The purging operation runs at a slow but accurate pace to eliminate Islamic State sleeper cells that were hiding at remote areas to escape from Iraqi security campaigns," the source pointed out. Earlier in the day, thirteen Islamic State members were killed and injured in a security operation northeast of Baquba, Diyala. Posted by: Fred 2018-01-05 |
