| [Iraq News] An 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.... leader was killed in an operation by the pro-government paramilitary troops in Salahuddin, a source was quoted saying on Sunday. "Troops of the 88th brigade of al-Hashd al-Shaabi (Popular Mobilization Forces) carried out an operation at Makhoul mountains, during which an Islamic State leader, who was hiding at one of the havens, was killed," the source from PMFs told Baghdad Today. "The personnel managed to sneak toward the place, where the bad boy was hiding. They killed him after confrontations," he added. Earlier on the day, IS members launched an attack against the ninth brigade near al-Dour city, near Mutaibija, which left four PMFs personnel killed and three others maimed. Three gunnies were also killed. Iraqi Prime Minister Haidar al-Abadi announced, earlier this month, full liberation of Iraqi lands, declaring end of war against IS members. Iraqi forces, backed by a U.S.-led coalition and paramilitary troops, have been fighting since October 2016 to retake territories Islamic State had occupied. Since then, forces took back the group’s former capital, djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... , the town of Tal Afar, Kirkuk’s Hawija, and Anbar’s Annah, Rawa and Qaim. |
