...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really 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 western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
 group (ISIS) on Monday grabbed credit for a deadly attack on Peshmerga forces on the Erbil-Kirkuk border late Saturday.

The attack happened in the Zorgazraw region of Kirkuk’s Pirde (Altun Kupri) district, about 40 kilometers northwest of Kirkuk. Two Peshmerga were killed, identified as Khalid Hameed and Ako Karim.

ISIS, in a post on its Telegram propaganda channel, claimed it killed three Peshmerga and injured others.
