| Kirkuk (IraqiNews.com) Five police personnel were killed, injured in an attack launched by 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.... members, south of Kirkuk, ... a thick stew of Arabs, Turkmen, Kurds, and probably Antarcticans, all of them mutually hostile most of the time... an informed security source said on Thursday. In remarks to Shafaq News website, the source said IS members attacked, late on Wednesday, Federal Police personnel in Rubeida village, south of Daquq. The attack, according to the source, left two personnel killed and three others injured. Moreover, the Security Media Center denied news that some villages, south of Kirkuk, fell to the myrmidon group. "An MP from Kirkuk as well as some media outlets said some villages, located south of Kirkuk, fell to IS members," the center said in a statement. "The news are totally untrue." "The truth is that some unknown members sneaked into some villages in the dark. They escaped after security troops there chased them," the statement added. On Wednesday, news reports quoted sources as saying that around 60 IS members attacked villages in Daquq town, south of Kirkuk. The federal troops took over security in Kirkuk province from Kurdish Peshmerga fighters in October, fulfilling instructions made by the Prime Minister Haidar al-Abadi to retake areas where illusory sovereignty is disputed with Kurdistan. |
