| [Rudaw] Militants have launched several recent attacks across the territories disputed between Erbil and Baghdad. The towns of Rashad and Hawija west of Kirkuk in particular have seen an uptick in bully boy activity. Posting via messaging app Telegram, the ISIS propaganda outlet Nashirnews said turbans had targeted Iraqi federal police in the subdistrict of Rashad and in the city of Tikrit on the Kirkuk road in the last 48 hours. On Thursday, two improvised bombs were detonated on two public buses in Kirkuk city center, killing one and injuring 17. The provincial council blamed the attack on ISIS remnants. ISIS has also grabbed credit for a rash of crop fires on the outskirts of Kirkuk city. |
