| [RUDAW.NET] 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.... murderous Moslems were repelled in an attack on Peshmerga forces at the Khazar frontline, 30 km from Erbil, a military official told Rudaw. "ISIS fighters attacked our forces on the Khazar front last night and the fight continued until early morning until ISIS was forced to retreat by the Peshmerga," Mohammed Karim, deputy commander of the Zrevani forces, told Rudaw on Tuesday. According to Karim, several ISIS armored vehicles were destroyed while one Peshmerga was killed and another maimed. Peshmerga forces on Monday retook a number of villages and towns near Kirkuk from ISIS in a major offensive that was reportedly set to continue on Tuesday. |
