Iraq announces killing of ISIS leader in Diyala
[Rudaw] Iraq’s top military spokesperson on Sunday announced the killing of the military commander 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) in Diyala in an air operation a day prior, state media reported.

F-16 jets struck "important hideouts" of ISIS in a Diyala village on Saturday after the terror group tried to "destabilize security and create strife" in the province, Yehia Rasool, military spokesperson to Iraq’s prime minister, told state media.

"A security force went out this morning to search the targeted place and found four bodies of ISIS terrorist gang members and destroyed weapons and equipment ... among the dead was the so-called criminal soldier Majeed Mayouf, who is considered one of the most prominent ISIS leaders," Rasool said.

In December, a deadly ISIS attack in Diyala’s Muqdadiya district (known as Sharaban in Kurdish) left at least 10 civilians dead and 17 injured.
