17 IS militants killed as they set checkpoints to kidnap civilians, near Mosul
Nineveh (IraqiNews.com) Iraqi troops have targeted a fake checkpoint set by 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....
to abduct civilians, near djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
, a security source said on Thursday.

"The operation was carried out on the road linking between Hatra and Mosul, based on intelligence information," the source told the Ottoman Turkish Anadolu agency.

"Joint security troops, backed by special combat forces from the Rapid Response (Interior Ministry) managed to kill all of the 17 gunnies before they escape."

Fake identities were possessed by the turbans, the source said, "in addition to possessing developed telecommunications devices and different kinds of weapons."
