Kirkuk (IraqiNews.com) Twelve 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....
members as well as security personnel were killed in west of Kirkuk,
... a thick stew of Arabs, Turkmen, Kurds, and probably Antarcticans, all of them mutually hostile most of the time...
sources said on Tuesday.

Speaking to AlSumaria News, Wasfi al-Aassi, head of the Hawija Liberation Brigades of al-Hashd al-Shaabi (Popular Mobilization Forces), said, "an attack by Islamic State members targeted PMFs in Nawafel village, al-Rashad town, southwest of Kirkuk, leaving one leader killed and five other personnel maimed."

"Security troops transferred the victim to forensic medicine department, while the maimed were taken to nearby hospital for treatment," Aassi added.

Moreover, six IS members were killed in a joint operation, northwest of Kirkuk, a security source from the province said.

"Joint troops of the Federal Police and the 16th brigade of PMFs carried out an operation and managed to kill six IS members, near one of the villages at al-Dibs town," the source told AlSumaria News.
