[Rudaw] 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) holy warriors conducted multiple attacks on several locations in Iraq late Sunday, according to the Popular Mobilization Forces’ (PMF) media department.
The PMF, also known as Hashd al-Shaabi in Arabic, claims that ISIS holy warriors attacked Hashd al-Shaabi units in eastern Saladin province, as well as in the town of Jurf al-Nasr, southwest of Baghdad, separately late Sunday.
Jurf al-Nasr, formerly known as Jurf al-Sakhir, is a town in the province of Babil, sixty kilometers southwest of Baghdad.
"ISIS holy warriors were attempting to enter Babil province through Jurf al-Nasr. However,
man does not live by words alone, despite the fact that sometimes he has to eat them...
their attack was foiled by the Hashd al-Shaabi units," tweeted the PMF, a predominantly Shiite paramilitary network, late Sunday.
In another tweet, Hashd al-Shaabi claimed that their units "repelled" an attack by ISIS holy warriors in eastern Saladin province late Sunday.
ISIS hard boy activities have increased in recent weeks, with holy warriors killing three federal coppers and wounding two others in an attack on Zaghniya cop shoppe in Diyala province on late Saturday.
ISIS holy warriors also carried out multiple attacks against Iraqi security forces early Saturday in Saladin province, killing ten members of the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), also known as Hashd al-Shaabi. It was ISIS’s biggest attack in Iraq since its territorial defeat.
