| [Rudaw] The 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.... group (ISIS) released the names of three assailants it said had launched Tuesday's deadly attack on the small town of Dubis near Kirkuk, ... a thick stew of Arabs, Turkmen, Kurds, and probably Antarcticans, all of them mutually hostile most of the time... saying that two of them were of Kurdish origin. Kurdish authorities said at least five attackers were involved. According to pro-ISIS social media accounts, two of the assailants were of Kurdish origin, named Abu Basiri al-Kurdi and Mohammed Omer al-Kurdi, and a jacket wallah named Abu Jundi Anasari was also involved in the 8 pm attack on the mayor's office. Kamal Kirkuki, commander of the Peshmerga on the western Kirkuk front, told Rudaw that two simultaneous attacks had taken place. "Last night a boom-mobile exploded in front of the Dubis municipal building," he said. "A few minutes later the assailants blustered into the building with grenades. Later, a suicide bomber also targeted a Peshmerga checkpoint on the Dubis-Kirkuk road, killing four coppers and wounding 15 others." He confirmed an earlier account by Brig. Sarhad Qadir of the Kirkuk police, who told Rudaw Tuesday that four holy warriors managed to break into the mayor's office after the building was attacked by as many suicide bombers, and that a fifth suicide bomber targeted a checkpoint in a simultaneous and related attack. He said six Peshmerga soldiers and coppers were killed in the fight. |
