ISIS kills five Iraqi security members in Kirkuk, Diyala: government
[Rudaw] The Iraqi government announced Monday the deaths of five security members and wounding of three others by remnants of the 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) in three separate incidents in Diyala and Kirkuk provinces.

"As a result of festivities with ISIS turbans in Mahbubiya village, Khan Bani Saad district [in Diyala province], a soldier from the army's 19th Infantry Division was martyred," announced the Iraqi Security Cell, using the Arabic acronym for the terrorist group.

"A backup security force immediately arrived at the scene of the fight. When arriving, a landmine was triggered, killing another three soldiers and wounding an officer and a soldier," the statement added.

In a separate incident, a policeman from the Fifth Division of the Iraqi Federal Police, was killed by ISIS remnants in Mariam Bag village, Rashad sub-district in Kirkuk province, added the security cell statement.

A third attack took place near the town of Dibis, also in Kirkuk after "ISIS remnants opened fire on Iraqi forces, wounding a policeman from the Police Commando Division - Brigade 4 ."

These latest attacks mark the continuation of a wave of deadly assaults on Iraqi and Kurdish security forces in the disputed territories in recent weeks.

Concerns have been raised that turban groups might exploit the upheaval created by the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
pandemic to win over more supporters and strike harder than before.

While searching for four Iraqi intelligence personnel kidnapped by the group's murderous Moslems, two Iraqi soldiers were killed and 10 others maimed on April 13.

ISIS turbans also killed an Iraqi federal police officer at a checkpoint in Hawija, western Kirkuk on April 12, according to defense officials.

Defense Minister Najah al-Shammari vowed last week to 'ramp up' the government’s anti-ISIS efforts, and stop the group's attacks amid the coronavirus pandemic.
