Drop the rosco, Muggsy, or you're one with the ages!
on Wednesday six members of the 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....
holy warrior group in the oil-rich province of Kirkuk,
... a thick stew of Arabs, Turkmen, Kurds, and probably Antarcticans, all of them mutually hostile most of the time...
the security media center said.

"Iraqi troops carried out a successful security operation based on accurate intelligence reports to target IS hard boyz in Kirkuk province," Baghdad Today news website quoted the center as saying in a statement.

According to the statement, the Lions of Islam were plotting to "carry out terrorist attacks with the aim of undermining the security situation in Kirkuk," adding that the arrests were made after more than 20 days of close surveillance of the terrorists.
