[Iraq News] Security troops have tossed in the clink
Book 'im, Mahmoud!
twelve 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....
Lions of Islam in Kirkuk,
... a thick stew of Arabs, Turkmen, Kurds, and probably Antarcticans, all of them mutually hostile most of the time...
a security source said on Sunday.

"Security forces of the Counter-Terrorism Service in Kirkuk managed to arrest twelve IS members hiding in the city," the source told Alghad Press.

"The inspection came simultaneously with the combing operations, carried out in south and west of Kirkuk as well as east of Salahuddin," the source, who preferred anonymity, added.

Iraqi troops, backed by the pro-government al-Hashd al-Shaabi (Popular Mobilization Forces) continue for the fourth consecutive day operations to impose control on liberated regions in Hawija and areas in its vicinity.
