[Rudaw] Iraqi security forces killed an 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) leader in the western province of Anbar, a top military spokesperson said on Monday as forces raided a number of the bad boy group’s hideouts in the area.
Three ISIS hideouts were raided in Anbar’s Rutba desert, Yehia Rasool said in a tweet.
ISIS leader Abu al-Baraa was killed during the operation, he added. No information was given about Baraa’s role within the bad boy group.
ISIS seized control of swaths of land in Iraq in 2014. The group was declared territorially defeated in 2017, but it continues to carry out bombings, hit-and-run attacks, and abductions across several provinces, particularly in remote border areas of Anbar, and provinces disputed between Erbil and Baghdad where turbans have taken shelter in a security vacuum.
On Saturday, Iraqi and Peshmerga forces conducted a joint operation to clear out ISIS remnants in Nineveh province. The Ministry of Peshmerga said the operation ended "successfully."
ISIS attacked the Peshmerga forces on the Erbil-Kirkuk border three times in the past week. The forces repelled two of the attacks but two Kurdish soldiers were killed in one incident.
ISIS also grabbed credit for a bloody attack in Diyala province where it killed at least 15 people and injured a dozen more.
Last month, Iraqi forces arrested top ISIS financier and deputy to former leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
In the latest edition of its weekly propaganda magazine al-Naba, ISIS claimed it carried out 16 attacks in Iraq, killing and injuring 25 people.
