...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....

, a security source said on Thursday.

"Security troops thwarted an IS attack and killed three turbans in a security operation in Makhmur town, southeast of Mosul," the police source told the Iraqi News Agency. "Their weapons in their possession were confiscated."

The source also said "security troops launched a campaign that resulted in arresting five turbans who were possessing fake identity cards in Makhmur."

The Lion of Islams, according to the source, were referred to investigations.

Moreover, security personnel in Nineveh have killed seventeen IS members, an army general told the Ottoman Turkish Anadolu agency.

"Three vehicles carrying seventeen IS members attacked, after midnight, a convoy of security troops composed of five vehicles in a village in Badush region, west of Mosul," Lt. Gen. Abdul Khaleq al-Bahadli said.

"Armed confrontations broke out and lasted for almost half an hour, leaving all the turbans killed and their vehicles destroyed. Their weapons were confiscated. Three security personnel were maimed," he added.

Hundreds of IS members, according to Bahadli, "are there in Tigris River and Badush regions, where the turbans hide in their havens."
