Latest Peshmerga operation kills two ISIS members near Makhmour
[Rudaw] Two Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really 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 western pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... (ISIS) members were killed in a fresh operation launched by Peshmerga forces in southwestern Erbil province on Sunday, while a Kurdish fighter was maimed, a commander told Rudaw. Sirwan Barzani, commander of Peshmerga forces in Makhmour confirmed to Rudaw late Sunday that the latest operation in Mount Qarachogh by a joint Peshmerga and Iraqi army force led to the deaths of two ISIS fighters. "One Peshmerga was slightly maimed and two ISIS fighters were killed in the festivities," Barzani said. The Peshmerga ministry on Sunday announced that the force had conducted an operation in Mount Qarachogh, an area synonymous with ISIS activity. "All the terrorist hideouts in the vicinity of the operation were destroyed and a large part of Mount Qarachogh was cleared," the ministry said. Barzani said that several tunnels and caves used by ISIS as hideouts were destroyed in the operation.
