Drop the heater, Studs, or you're hist'try!
on Saturday a fighter belonging to the terrorist 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....
group in the oil-rich province of Kirkuk,
... a thick stew of Arabs, Turkmen, Kurds, and probably Antarcticans, all of them mutually hostile most of the time...
a state-run security media body was quoted as saying.

"The terrorist was fighting for Islamic State’s so-called al-Qadisiya army," Baghdad Today News Agency quoted the Security Media Center as saying in a statement, adding that the arrest was made in the "June First" neighborhood in southern Kirkuk.

According to the statement, the myrmidon "was referred to the Iraqi judiciary for legal action."
