Suicide bomber kills two Iraqi troops during anti-ISIS raid
[Rudaw] Two Iraqi soldiers were killed Tuesday when a jacket wallah went kaboom! during an army raid targeting 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....
group murderous Moslems north of Baghdad, security sources said.

A trapped murderous Moslem "detonated his explosives belt, killing a major and another soldier, also wounding three others", an interior ministry source told AFP, asking not to be named.

A second Islamist murderous Moslem was killed when he also tried to set off a suicide bomb in the army operation in the rural area of Tarmiya, the source said.

ISIS overran large swathes of Iraq and neighbouring Syria in 2014, declaring a "caliphate", before Baghdad declared victory in late 2017 after a grinding campaign. But a low-level jihadist insurgency has persisted, particularly in rural areas north of Baghdad around the city of Kirkuk and in the eastern provinces of Diyala and Salaheddin.

On Tuesday, Iraqi military command front man Yahya Rassoul said "43 Islamic State elements" had been killed in a recent operation in the northern province of Nineveh, of which the former ISIS bastion djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
is the capital.

According to a UN report last year, some 10,000 ISIS fighters remain active in Iraq and Syria.
