[RUDAW.NET] Peshmerga forces repulsed 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.... (ISIS) attack on the Gwer front south of Erbil on Sunday, killing 19 bad boys, a Kurdish official told Rudaw. "ISIS snuffies launched an attack on Peshmerga in the Abu Sheita village on the Gwer front, but it was repulsed by the Peshmerga," said Sirwan Barzani, the Peshmerga commander of the Gwer-Makhmour region. "No casualties were inflicted on the Peshmerga, while 19 snuffies of the group were killed," Barzani added. On Saturday, five ISIS jacket wallahs wearing boom belts launched an assault on Peshmerga defense lines on the Gwer front. Two were bumped off and one detonated his vest, wounding one Peshmerga. Sunday’s attack coincided with a major Peshmerga offensive against ISIS on the Khazir front, 30 kilometers from Erbil. |
