[Rudaw] Turkish forces at Iraq's Bashiq camp
...near Mosul...
killed 17 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....
(ISIS) murderous Moslems on Friday when the group attacked the camp with rocket fire and assault rifles, Turkish media reported.

Official sources denied media reports that Turkish soldiers were either maimed or killed in the attack.

The ISIS murderous Moslems had attempted to sneak into the camp when the festivities ensued.

This is ISIS's third attack on the base.

The first attack took place on December 16 when the group fired Katyusha rockets at the camp and a second attack on December 27 (which ISIS filmed using a drone) left five Turkish soldiers injured and one Iraqi citizen dead.

The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
has been training an armed anti-ISIS Sunni group in the camp since last year but its additional deployment of forces to protect the installation in early December led to an ongoing diplomatic incident with Baghdad.
