Casualties among Iraqi soldiers, civilians in clashes with ISIS in Diyala

2022-04-21

[Rudaw] Three members of the Sunni tribal forces were killed and eight others, including civilians, were maimed in northern Diyala province, following an attack by members of the 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) on Tuesday evening, officials confirmed to Rudaw.

A Hashd al-Ashayiri base in Qara Tapa’s Kashkul village was attacked by suspected ISIS members on Tuesday, killing four of the forces of Evil in the festivities that ensued. This is the third time ISIS has attacked the area within the last week, according to Qara Tapa’s Mayor Wasfi al-Tamimi.

Rudaw has learnt that three members of Hashd al-Ashayiri were killed during the incident, which also resulted in eight people maimed, including both civilians and members of the armed forces.

Hashd al-Ashayiri are Sunni tribal forces under the umbrella of the Iraqi Armed Forces, founded in 2014 to fight in the war against ISIS. Hashd al-Ashayiri fights ISIS threats in areas that are predominantly Sunni.

Additionally, ISIS carried out two other offences in other parts of Diyala province on Tuesday night, targeting brigades of the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) and the Iraqi army. The attacks were quickly thwarted without any casualties.
