They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... members have performed a "farewell prayer" in Hawija, their stronghold in southwestern Kirkuk, ... a thick stew of Arabs, Turkmen, Kurds, and probably Antarcticans, all of them mutually hostile most of the time... sources said, saying the incident comes as A security source told Alsumaria News that a number of foreign members within the group, led by the so-called head of the "Jihadists Shura Council", performed the prayer at a mosque in central Hawija, before the leader directed them to "blew themselves up during the upcoming battles". The leader also admitted the loss of the group’s domains in Hawija, according to the source. The Iraqi government said late August that Hawija, which IS has held since 2014, was the next target of its operations against the krazed killer group.

It also said more than 15 U.S. army vehicles deployed at al-Farraj, a region 90 kilometers southeast of Mosul on the borders with Kirkuk, preparing to back up Iraqi forces in their anticipated offensives. |
