Six Dead in IS Attacks on Security Forces in Northern Iraq

[AnNahar] 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....
group attacks on security forces north of the Iraqi capital killed six of their members overnight, officials said Thursday.

Three coppers and two members of the Hashed al-Shaabi paramilitary force died in an attack on a checkpoint south of the city of Tikrit, a security official told AFP, speaking on condition of anonymity
... for fear of being murdered...
The attack sparked a three-hour gunbattle, he said.

Some 300 kilometres (180 miles) to the east, in the Khanaqin area, the jihadist group fired mortars at a post held by the Asayish security force of Iraq's autonomous Kurdish region, a Kurdish official said.

An Asayish member was killed in an hour-long battle before the assailants fled, local commander Naucherwan Ahmed said.
