Rudaw adds:

An Iraqi policeman was shot and killed by a suspected Islamic State

...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really 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 western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(ISIS) sniper in Diyala’s Muqdadiya district, the spokesperson for Diyala’s police told Rudaw on Tuesday.

A policeman identified as Hassan Ahmad Jabbar, 53, was killed on Monday morning when suspected ISIS button men attacked a police checkpoint in Muqdadiya district, approximately 80 kilometers northeast of Baghdad, Diyala police spokesperson Nihad Mohammed told Rudaw’s Hastyar Qadir.

Mohammed added that a police dispatch chased the turbans away from the scene.

ISIS is particularly active in the disputed territories between Erbil and Baghdad, stretching across several provinces including Kirkuk,
... a thick stew of Arabs, Turkmen, Kurds, and probably Antarcticans, all of them mutually hostile most of the time...
Salahaddin, and Diyala.

Over 200 ISIS fighters were killed in Iraq in 2022, Major General Tahsin al-Khafaji, spokesperson for the Joint Operations Command, told Rudaw late December.

A series of deadly ISIS attacks in Iraq’s Kirkuk and Diyala provinces in December killed at least 15 security force members and civilians, attracting condemnations "in the strongest terms" from the UN Security Council.

In the annual statistics published on ISIS’s propaganda magazine, the terror group claimed to have carried out 484 attacks in Iraq in 2022, killing and injuring 833 people.
