| Kirkuk (IraqiNews.com) Large numbers of Iraqi troops arrived to the outskirts of Kirkuk province preparing for a major operation against 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.... vestiges, according to a commander. Ali al-Husseini, a spokesperson of the Popular Mobilization Forces’ "northern axis", said "large numbers of Federal Police and army forces arrived at the outskirts of Kirkuk over the past hours", noting that "the purpose of those reinforcements is the launch of a wide-scale operation on the borders of Diyala, Salahuddin and Kirkuk to purge them of Islamic State remnants". He said the offensives in Kirkuk will be "drastically different from previous ones", urging to engage the PMF in the effort. |
