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.

Several thousand people -- fighters and their relatives -- are believed to be cornered in the last pocket of IS-held territory, barely half a square kilometre near the Iraqi border. |
