Four Islamic State militants killed in Kirkuk military operation
2018-01-15
[Iraq News] Four 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....
snuffies were killed in a military operation in southwestern Kirkuk,
... a thick stew of Arabs, Turkmen, Kurds, and probably Antarcticans, all of them mutually hostile most of the time...
a security source was quoted as saying.

Speaking to Alsumaria News on Sunday, the source said, "A joint force from the Iraqi army and al-Hashd al-Shaabi (Popular Mobilization Forces) was carrying out a military operation in an area between al-Abbasi and Hawija districts in southwestern Kirkuk."

"Four Islamic State snuffies were killed in the clampdowns," the source added.
