| [Rudaw] At least 17 turbans 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 Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... group (ISIS) were killed in an Coalition airpower destroyed military bases in areas south of Kirkuk, ... a thick stew of Arabs, Turkmen, Kurds, and probably Antarcticans, all of them mutually hostile most of the time... from where ISIS frequently launches attacks against Peshmerga positions inside the city. The unidentified security official, quoted by Iraqi official media, said three bases where ISIS maintained "substantial military resources" were completely destroyed, including storage houses for ammunition and a number of vehicles. Also south of Kirkuk, Kurdish Peshmerga forces launched an attack earlier this month and recaptured 13 villages from the murderous Moslems, in an effort to diminish ISIS shelling capabilities targeting Kurdish positions. The Asayish Kurdish security forces have been patrolling the oil- rich city of Kirkuk since 2003. Peshmarga troops entered the city in June last year, when the Iraqi army abandoned the area prior to an ISIS offensive. Kurdish authorities have said Peshmerga forces will remain in the city and provide security for different ethnic and religious communities in the disputed city, despite the Iraqi government's objections. |

| #1 "...three bases where ISIS maintained "substantial military resources" ..., including storage houses for ammunition..." Couldn't that be condensed to "mosque"? |
