[ALMASDARNEWS] 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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
unleashed a series of hit-and-run attacks on Iraqi outposts and checkpoints on the outskirts of Baiji beginning on Thursday morning in a seeming bid to divert government troops from their offensive in djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
Spearheaded by an astonishing five jacket wallahs, ISIS turbans infiltrated a number of Iraqi-held points north and west of Baiji, an Iraqi Army stronghold on the Tigris River.

According to Amaq Agency, ISIS operations in the Salahuddin governorate led to the destruction of 9 Hummer vehicles and three Iraqi Army tanks while some 40 government soldiers were killed on Thursday alone.
