| 2015-05-20 |
| [RUDAW] Iraqi forces and allied Sunni rustics repelled an Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... attack overnight on a town between two Lion of Islam-held cities in the western Anbar province, a tribal leader said Tuesday. The holy warriors launched an attack shortly before midnight to try and capture the town of Khaldiya, which is between Fallujah and the quiet provincial capital of Ramadi, Sheikh Rafie al-Fahdawi said. He said the holy warriors captured a small village outside Khaldiya. He said no troops or tribal fighters were killed in the festivities. ISIS holy warriors routed Iraqi troops and seized Ramadi over the weekend in their most significant advance since a US-led coalition began The latest advance prompted Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi to order Shiite militias to prepare to go into the restive Sunni province following a request from the local government and some tribes. The paramilitary forces, known as Popular Mobilization Units, played a major role in dislodging IS holy warriors from Saddam Hussein's hometown of Tikrit last month and rolling back the bully boyz elsewhere in the country. But rights groups have accused the holy warriors of carrying out Dire Revenge attacks against Sunnis and of looting and destroying property. Militia leaders have denied the allegations. No, no! Certainly not! On Monday, the Islamic State holy warriors searched door-to-door for coppers and pro-government fighters in Ramadi and threw bodies in the Euphrates River in a bloody purge. Officials put the number of people killed since Friday at least 500, including civilians and security forces. |

| #1 But rights groups have accused the holy warriors of carrying out Dire Revenge attacks against Sunnis and of looting and destroying property. How many battalions do these rights groups have? |
