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.

(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.
