Blast kills four, wounds nine civilians while fleeing IS near Salahuddin
2017-08-13
[Iraq News] Four non-combatants were killed and nine others were maimed in a kaboom, targeting families fleeing IS-held areas, north of the province, a source told Alsumaria News on Saturday.

The source said, "Today, a bomb went kaboom!, targeting families fleeing from 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....
-held areas in Hawija in Hamrin Mountains, north of Salahuddin."

"The blast killed four civilians and maimed nine others, including women and kiddies," the source added on condition of anonymity.

It is worth mentioning that the Islamic State group is still controlling Hawija District and several areas south of Kirkuk,
... a thick stew of Arabs, Turkmen, Kurds, and probably Antarcticans, all of them mutually hostile most of the time...
which consider the group’s strongholds in the areas and bases to attack Salahuddin Province.
