ISIS attack in Makhmour kills Iraqi soldier: Peshmerga
[RUDAW] At least one Iraqi soldier was killed on Friday night when suspected 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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
 (ISIS) button men attacked an army position near Erbil province’s Makhmour, a Peshmerga source said, a day after a deadly suspected ISIS attack in Diyala.

Two ISIS attacks on Gobtapa village near Makhmour resulted in the death of an Iraqi army soldier and injury of five others, Ghazi Faisal, head of a unit of Peshmerga volunteers in Makhmour district, told Rudaw on Saturday.

"We are now with the Iraqi army in the village and have surrounded the ISIS fighters," Faisal said.

It is the second suspected ISIS assault in Iraq in two days after a deadly attack in Diyala’s Muqdadiya district (known as Sharaban in Kurdish) on Thursday evening left at least ten civilians dead and 17 injured. The incident drew condemnations from Iraqi and Kurdish officials and raised concern about ISIS sleeper cell activities in the disputed territories.
