They got the Bad Guy:



Clashes erupted between Iraqi security forces and a group of turbans who are believed to be involved in a kaboom that killed at least eight troops in Kirkuk on Sunday morning.

Earlier today, a blast from a roadside kaboom reportedly targeted a convoy for Iraq's federal police in the southwestern sub-district of Riyadh. The blast killed eight troops, including a major, according to a security source.

In the aftermath of the attack, a search campaign was launched in the vicinity of the attack's location to trace the perpetrators. The Force on duty identified the group of turbans believed to be members of the Islamic State
...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....
(ISIS) bad boy organization.

The security force, according to a source, engaged with the murderous Moslem group and managed to kill one of its members.

The operation is underway to locate and apprehend the rest of the group's members, the source concluded.
