...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi.

near Hawija town, southwest of Kirkuk.

Earlier this month, troops of the Counter-Terrorism Service managed, during an operation, to arrest on Thursday a cell composed of 13 hard boyz who had sneaked into Kirkuk. On Wednesday, three members of Islamic State, including a senior intelligence official, were arrested during a security campaign in southwest of Kirkuk. Up to 14 Islamic State members were killed on Tuesday in a series of Arclight airstrikes on northwest of Kirkuk province by the U.S.-led international coalition warplanes.

The group still has dormant cells, through which it carries out attacks, across Iraq like it used to do before 2014.
