ISIS kidnaps Kurdish shepherd in Diyala, says official
[Rudaw] A Kurdish shepherd was kidnapped by suspected 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) members in northern Diyala province on Monday, a local security official told Rudaw, with the site of the kidnapping situated in a security gap.

"ISIS holy warriors kidnapped a shepherd in Narin village because no security forces are present in the area," local security head Shamal Abdulrahman told Rudaw’s Hunar Hamid. The village is located close to the town of Qara Tapa.

Wali Rostam, a village resident and the abductee’s cousin, said that this is the third kidnapping the village since 2019 and that they previously had to pay ISIS holy warriors a fee of $57,500 in exchange for an abductee’s freedom.

Rostam added that they expect ISIS fighters to contact them in the evening to demand a price for the shepherd’s release.

An ISIS attack on a group of shepherds in Kirkuk late last month killed one civilian and injured another.

Earlier in August, five Iraqi soldiers were killed in an ISIS attack in Diyala.
