Senior Iraqi commander killed by ISIS in Salahaddin province
[Rudaw] A senior Iraqi Counter Terrorism Forces (ICTS) commander was killed during a clash with 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) bandidos snuffies in the Makhoul mountain range on Friday, according to the agency.

"Colonel Hisham Muhammad, commander of the ICTS Salahaddin Regiment, the Second Special Operations Command of the ICTS, received the honor of martyrdom [was killed] this morning while chasing remnants of ISIS bandidos snuffies in the Makhoul Mountains," a statement from the agency by its head Lt. Gen. Abdul Wahab al-Saadi published Friday reads.

The Makhoul mountains in Salahaddin province, alongside other nearby mountain ranges, are known hideouts for ISIS bad boys. The terrorist group has not grabbed credit for the killing of the ICTS commander yet.

ISIS bully boy activities have increased in recent weeks.

The krazed killer group killed the commander of the 59th Brigade of the Iraqi army, Brigadier General Ali Hameed Ghaydan, after bandidos snuffies attacked his convoy in the Ibn Sena region in al-Tarmia district, north of the capital city of Baghdad.

ISIS also grabbed credit for the killing of General Brigadier Ahmed al-Lami, commander of 7th division of the 29th brigade of the Iraqi army in an ambush in Anbar on Wednesday.

On May 15, two soldiers were killed and four maimed when a convoy hit an improvised bomb (IED) in northern Baghdad province. ISIS later grabbed credit for the blast.

May was an especially deadly month. Ten Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF, or Hashd al Shaabi in Arabic) fighters were killed in a five-pronged assault in Salahaddin on May 2. On the same day, bandidos snuffies killed three federal coppers and maimed two others in an attack on Zaghniya cop shoppe in Diyala province.

ISIS claimed in its weekly propaganda newspaper al-Naba on Thursday that its bandidos snuffies had carried out 20 attacks in Iraq between August 13 and 19 alone — half of it in Diyala province.
