Suspected ISIS attack injures Iraqi soldier in Salahaddin
[Rudaw] One Iraqi soldier was injured in a suspected 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) attack on the Iraqi army in Salahaddin province on Sunday, an official told Rudaw.

The terror group allegedly attacked the force in Tuz Khurmatu’s Bastamli village at around 6:45 pm, Kawa Shekhani, Sakahaddin governor’s security and military advisor told Rudaw.

Shekhani added that the maimed soldier had been transferred to a hospital, and the situation was under control.

No group has grabbed credit for the attack yet.

The disputed territory of Salahaddin is often targeted by ISIS Death Eaters, which seized control of swathes 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. The terror group’s remnants are particularly active in parts of northern Iraq that are disputed between Erbil and Baghdad.

Major General Qaraman Kamal, vice chief of staff of Peshmerga forces, told Rudaw on Thursday the terror group has launched about 33 attacks in the disputed areas in the first three months of the year, killing at least 24 people and injuring over 20 more.

The terror group grabbed credit for an attack on a village in southern Kirkuk,
... a thick stew of Arabs, Turkmen, Kurds, and probably Antarcticans, all of them mutually hostile most of the time...
saying they have killed at least three civilians and injured four others.

Iraqi and Kurdish forces often launch joint security operations to arrest ISIS suspects.

The Kurdish security forces on Wednesday announced the arrest of an ISIS leader believed to have executed two Peshmerga fighters.

On Monday, the Iraqi forces arrested an ISIS leader and several suspects of the terror group across Iraq.
