[AlAhram] Iraqi officials say a series of suicide kabooms by the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're 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 the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
group outside a town in Anbar province west of Baghdad killed 12 soldiers and allied Sunni militiamen.

The military and hospital officials say Tuesday's attack began when IS bully boyz shelled army and militia positions outside the town of Haditha with mortars. They followed up with two jacket wallahs who blew themselves up near the troops and later with three suicide boom-mobileings.

The officials say five soldiers and three Sunni rustics were maimed.

The officials say Arclight airstrikes by the U.S.-led alliance destroyed six IS vehicles and killed 13 bully boyz as they approached the site.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.

Much of Anbar is under IS control.
