US State Department: 500 civilians killed in 2019 Iraq terrorist attacks

[Rudaw] More than 500 civilians have been killed and 1,000 maimed in acts of terrorism across Iraq in 2019, with a lack of security coordination between the governments of Iraq and the Kurdistan Region in part to blame, according to a US State Department annual country report.

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) carried out over 800 attacks in the country, the Iraq edition of the U.S. State Department Country Reports on Terrorism 2019 detailed, predominantly in the deserts and mountains of the disputed territories in the north of the country.

"According to the Federal Intelligence and Investigation Agency within Iraq's Ministry of Interior, acts of terrorism, violence, and armed conflict with ISIS killed more than 534 civilians and injured more than 1,121 in 2019 as of December 1," the report reads.

Since declaring the defeat of ISIS in December 2017, Iraq’s armed forces have carried out multiple air and ground operations against group remnants in the disputed area claimed by Erbil and Baghdad. In its latest string of campaigns, at least 12 ISIS turbans were killed on Mount Qarachogh in the disputed territory of Makhmour, Erbil province, in a joint operation by Iraqi Security Forces (ISF) and the US-led coalition in the early hours of Wednesday.
