Kurds destroy Arab homes in Kirkuk
(Iraqinews.com) Kirkuk – Kurdish authorities in Kirkuk are undertaking series of demolitions of Arab-owned homes in the northern Iraq province, supposedly in retaliation for an attack by Islamic State militants last month, according to Amnesty International.
“In the aftermath of a surprise ISIS attack on eight different locations across Kirkuk on 21 October, many residents say they were ordered to leave the area and had their identity cards confiscated,” said the organization.
“Among those affected are an estimated 250 families who had previously been displaced from other areas of Iraq and had sought safety and shelter in Kirkuk…At least 190 families were also forcibly displaced by Kurdish Peshmerga and Asayish forces from the Qotan and Qoshkaya villages in the Dibs district of Kirkuk Province,” The organization added.
It quoted some citizens as saying that Kurds blamed them for bringing ISIS fighters to the province and sheltering them in their homes.
The organization said the practice is a violation of international laws that dictate that displaced people should not be returned home except voluntarily.
“The authorities in Kirkuk are undeniably facing a serious security threat, but that cannot justify bulldozing people’s homes and forcibly displacing hundreds of Arab residents,” the organizations explained. “Forcibly evicting and displacing Sunni Arab residents of Kirkuk is unlawful and cruel,” Amnesty International added.
ISIS Golden Throat's demise ends newspaper
(IraqiNews.com) Nineveh-The self-proclaimed Islamic State has announced the killing of its most outstanding propaganda moviemaker, while the group also ceased its paper propaganda in the city of Mosul, Alsumaria News reported on Monday.
Alsumaria News stated, “ISIS media outlets have announced the killing of Shehata al-Masry, the group’s moviemaker, in an airstrike on a main road near al-Baaj, west of Mosul, along with two of his aides,” adding that, “Though Al-Masry was not well-known before, he seemed to have been an important personality working in the shadow.”
ISIS is known to have recruited several people with expertise from around the world to tap into their experience in its psychological war. The group has relied on films and video clips adopting the style of American thriller movies to deliver its messages.
The group has also ceased its paper propaganda in the city of Mosul, Nineveh, in an apparent sign of the group’s diminishing presence there resulting from defeats to Iraq security forces.
Alsumaria News also revealed on Monday that the group had halted its paper propaganda completely, pointing out almost certain information about ISIS transferred some of its largest printing presses out of the city.
“Propaganda issues for ISIS, which included a magazine and other weekly or monthly leaflets ceased to issue completely,” said Alsumaria.
“That paper propaganda was one of the tools ISIS relied upon to deliver their messages to the people of Mosul over the past months, having tackled several issues including the group’s decisions over several issues,” Alsumaria added.
The revelation comes as Iraqi government forces, al-Hashd al-Shaabi militia and US-led airstrikes continue to push with a weeks-old operation to liberate Mosul, ISIS last stronghold in Iraq. The operation has reportedly forced the group’s fighters to smuggle their families out of the city along with valuable possessions.
Noteworthy, ISIS most outstanding issue is Dabiq, a magazine in English and Arabic, both in a paper and online 50-page edition.

ISIS shuts down internet cafes, rounds up Kurd suspects
[ARA News] Idlib – The radical group of Islamic State (ISIS) has shut down several internet cafes in Syria’s northeastern Raqqa city. The group has also confiscated dozens of private satellite devices, local sources reported on Monday.
“They [ISIS militants] stormed internet cafes and civilian houses in a bid to shut down the internet network in Raqqa,” a local media activists told ARA News, speaking on condition of anonymity.
“Most of the internet cafes in Raqqa city were shut down,” the source reported.
This comes just one day after the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) launched the so-called Euphrates Wrath Operation, a military campaign aimed at liberating Raqqa from ISIS. The US-backed SDF on Monday seized control of 11 villages north of Raqqa, in an effort to isolate ISIS inside the city.
The operation caused a state of alert in ISIS ranks. The group’s attempt to shut down the internet comes amid fears that local informers have been leaking security information about ISIS movements in Raqqa to the SDF and the US-led coalition.
“The Islamic State has tightened security measures inside and around Raqqa city. Nobody is allowed to leave the city under any circumstances,” rights activist Kamal Hamdawi told ARA News.
Also on Monday, ISIS militants stormed the houses of Kurdish families in Raqqa city, and arrested a number of civilians on charges of supporting the SDF, eyewitnesses reported.
ISIS sleeper cells activated throughout Iraq
AKA Stay behind parties
[AAWSAT] Baghdad – Many of ISIS’ sleeper cells have risen in retaliation to the losses in Mosul and other areas.
Two days after the Iraqi Ministry of Interior thwarted an ISIS attack, ISIS responded with a series of booby-trapped cars and terrorists attacks in Baghdad, Tikrit, Samara, and al-Sherqat which killed a number of pilgrims including Iranians who were on their way the shrines in Samara.
Saladin governor Ahmed al-Jubouri blamed security authorities for the incidents in Tikrit and Samara, Saladin tribe council spokesperson Marwan Jebara said that lack of coordination between the security forces made it easy to penetrate and cause blasts certain areas.
At least 15 people were killed in twin suicide attacks, and 33 injured in Shisheen valley, south of Tikrit. While in Samara, security forces imposed a curfew after a blast killed and injured over 24 persons included 10 Iranians.
Isis has claimed responsibility for the attacks in retaliation for their loss of territory in the north of the country.
Jebara said that this is a double-message from ISIS to its fighters and to Iraq. He elaborated that the terrorist organization wants to prove to everyone that it is still here and capable of bombing any area.
He explained that Samara is special for ISIS because it is the hometown of its leader Abu Baqer al-Baghdadi, and by attacking there, the organization encouraged its fighters and delivered a message that it can attack areas close to the shrines in Samara especially that Arbaeen pilgrimage is near.
According to Jebara, the bombs were attributed to lack of coordination between security forces and the different types and numbers of forces.
Governor Joubouri stated that the attacks are a reaction to ISIS’ losses in the area and due to multiple forces.
In Baghdad, an army force was able to kill a terrorist driving a car before he detonated it among pilgrims in Baghdad.
Security expert Hashim al-Hasihimi told Al-Sharq Al-Awsat newspaper that ISIS is not centralized, and each governorate follows its own plans without directives from the headquarters of the organization.
Hashimi added Kirkuk attacks were executed by a number of fighters from outside of Kirkuk in collaboration with sleeper cells in the city.
