Two members of ‘Cubs of the Caliphate’ killed as booby-trapped cooking pot explodes
2017-06-14
[Iraq News] Two members of the 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....
’s so-called "Cubs of the Caliphate" were killed as a booby-trapped cooking pot went kaboom! in al-Mutaibija region, on borders between Salahuddin and Diyala provinces, a local source said.

Speaking to AlSumaria News on Monday, the source said, "two members of the so-called ’Cubs of the Caliphate’ were killed as a booby-trapped cooking pot went kaboom! while being transferred from one of the group’s rest houses in Mutaibija to be placed on a road."

"Several IS cubs were recently transferred from Hawija to Mutaibija to boost the group’s capabilities," the source, who preferred anonymity said. The group, according to the source, "now depends on different methods to manufacture bombs using pots and plastic bottles in different sizes."

Founded by the group, the Cubs of the Caliphate is formed of teenagers to either transfer explosives or commit suicide kabooms.
...many of them were Christian or Yezidi captives before being given this opportunity; others were the sons of unconnected Sunnis...
Occasional attacks have been witnesses in Mutaibija by Islamic State against government and paramilitary troops deployments since Iraqi forces, backed by a U.S.-led coalition and PMUs, launched a major offensive to retake areas occupied by IS since 2014, most notably the city of djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
