early Tuesday a girl believed to be 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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....

Sputnik News, quoting a local source, reported that the girl, putting on an boom belt, was on her way to blow herself up inside a girls-only school in Wahda district. Police sealed off the school’s vicinity, according to the source, who said that many IS-linked women had managed to melt within civilians though implicated in brutal abuses against Iraqi women over the past two years.

Since Iraqi government troops became in control of eastern Mosul late January, Islamic State fighters, who fled to strongholds in the west, waged occasional attacks on the liberated areas in the east, either by fighters crossing from the west via the Tigris River or by sending bomb-supplied drones. Militants, some security personnel and non-combatants were killed in those attacks. The assaults have stoked security officials’ concerns that IS might have left sleeper cells in the eastern region that could destabilize liberated districts.

Iraqi troops, starting a new offensive on western Mosul on February 19th, have recently pushed closer to central Mosul, where many strategic government facilities are located.
