Amid continued ISIS attacks, Kurds flee Kirkuk province villages
[Rudaw] Iraqi armed forces have come under attack from 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) gunnies in southern Daquq, Kirkuk province on two consecutive nights over the weekend, killing four soldiers and wounding three others.

Militants move brazenly through southern Daquq. Villagers from the area are abandoning their homes in fear.

In Anana, the last Kurdish inhabited village in the southernmost region of Daquq, villagers say they are taking defense into their own hands.

Iraqi Operations Command in Kirkuk has downplayed ISIS activities, saying they are not affecting the security and stability of the province.
