ISIS kills family of Iraqi tribal leader in suicide attack
2016-10-16
[RUDAW.NET] 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) gunnies attacked the home of a tribal leader south of Tikrit, killing all the family members in the house at the time.

Muhanad al-Azzawi, head of the Shiite militia Hashd al-Shaabi media office in Tikrit, said that "Two ISIS jacket wallahs attacked a tribal leader’s house in the Eshaq sub-district south of Tikrit. They killed all the members of the family."

"After security forces surrounded the house and confronted the ISIS holy warriors, they blew themselves up," al-Azzawi added.

Tikrit is located 200 kilometres north of Baghdad.

In Baghdad on Saturday, an kaboom in an eastern neighbourhood of the city resulted in casualties.

The kaboom in the Amin neighbourhood in Baghdad al-Jdida killed one and maimed eight.
