Kurdish farmer abducted by ISIS in Kirkuk province

[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 kidnapped a Kurdish man from his home in Kirkuk province on Tuesday night, a Peshmerga told Rudaw English on Wednesday.
Sherzad Mawlud, a farmer, was kidnapped from his home in the town of Sargaran, Qarachogh Ghazi, a Peshmerga volunteer in the region told Rudaw English on Wednesday.
"ISIS is very active in the region, to the point that they have complete control at night," Ghazi said.
Iraqi army soldiers and local residents have begun a search for Mawlud, he added.
Though ISIS was declared territorially defeated in Iraq in December 2017, lack of coordination between security forces in areas disputed between Erbil and Baghdad - largely in Salahaddin, Kirkuk,
... a thick stew of Arabs, Turkmen, Kurds, and probably Antarcticans, all of them mutually hostile most of the time...
and Diyala provinces - has created a security vacuum that group’s sleeper cells exploit to carry out ambushes, attacks and kidnappings.
In December, two men from Kirkuk’s Daquq district were released by ISIS after six months in captivity. Their families had to pay $40,000 for their release.
Three farmers were kidnapped near Salahaddin's Tuz Khurmatu by ISIS snuffies in March.
Police and soldiers are often targeted by ISIS.
At least one policeman was killed and three others were maimed in an attack in February.
The Peshmerga ministry said in a statement on February 3 that they had deployed forces to Makhmour and Mount Qarachogh "as a result of security threats imposed by ISIS."
