Iraqi, Peshmerga forces conduct joint operation against ISIS in Nineveh
[Rudaw] Iraqi forces and the Peshmerga on Saturday launched a joint security operation to clear out 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) remnants in Nineveh province, a senior military official told Rudaw, as the holy warrior group remains a serious security threat.

The operation’s main focus is in the areas of Kashaf al-Ulya and Kashaf al-Sufla south of djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
where ISIS is active, spokesperson for Joint Operations Command Major General Tahsin al-Khafaji told Rudaw’s Hawar Jalaladin.

Around 150 to 200 members of the group are present in the area, he added.

Last month, the deputy Peshmerga minister said a joint brigade would be formed after Iraq’s October 10 election. Khafaji described Saturday’s operation as their "first" in this area of Nineveh.

Iraq’s Security Media Cell announced the start of the operation earlier Saturday morning. It is expected to end in the next "two hours," according to Khafaji who was optimistic about the outcome.

Sirwan Barzani, commander of Peshmerga forces’ Gwer-Makhmour front said in a tweet late Saturday evening that "All ISIS cells were neutralised in a joint operation by the Peshmerga, Coalition Forces, and Iraqi Army", explaining that the joint operations were necessary to end the actions of the terrorist group.
