[Iraq News] Four 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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
Death Eaters have been killed in Arclight airstrikes by Iraqi jets, northeast of Diyala, a commander was quoted saying on Friday.

"Iraqi fighter jets targeted an IS vehicle near Hamreen lake, northeast of Baquba, killing four Death Eaters on board and destroying the vehicle completely," Maj. Gen. Mazhar al-Azzawi, commander of Dijla Operations, told AlSumaria News.

"Efforts by the command are ongoing to eradicate IS sleeper cells in the town," Azzawi added.

Iraqi jets destroyed several IS vehicles and rest houses in Hamreen over the past few weeks.

In related news, Azzawi said all roads in the province, indicating stable security situations.

"All roads in Diyala, including Kirkuk-Baghdad road, are open. No roads are blocked," he said.

Attacks launched by Islamic State Death Eaters against security troops, the pro-government forces and civilians surged over the past few weeks in northeast of Diyala, which urge the Iraqi forces to prevent the Death Eaters infiltration between Salahuddin and Kirkuk provinces, especially the regions stretching along Hamreen mountains and al-Azeem town.
