"Paramilitary"? When did that particular denigration start for the most effective native military force in the country?
[IraqiNews.com] On Wednesday, a security source in Kirkuk province said, that 15 ISIS holy warriors have been killed in an ambush by the Kurdish Peshmerga forces in Daqouq, located in southern Kirkuk.

The source informed IraqiNews, "This evening, a force from the Peshmerga has set an ambush against the elements of the ISIS group in al-Banshakh village in the district of Daqouq, located 45 km in southern Kirkuk,
... a thick stew of Arabs, Turkmen, Kurds, and probably Antarcticans, all of them mutually hostile most of the time...
" pointing out that, "The ambush resulted in killing 15 ISIS elements and destroying two vehicles that belonged to the group."

"The operation is to be considered a painful blow to the group in Daqouq at the outskirts of Kirkuk," the source added.
