| [Rudaw] Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia’ al-Sudani on Tuesday announced the killing of the so-called "Iraq Governor" 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 Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... (ISIS) along with eight big shots of the group, as Baghdad tightens the noose around jihadist remnants in the country. "I congratulate our honorable people on the killing of the so-called (Iraq Governor) in the terrorist organization ISIS and 8 of the organization’s big shots in a heroic and qualitative operation," Sudani said on X. The Iraqi army operation targeted ISIS bases in the Hamrin Mountains, a hotbed for jihadist activity and part of territories disputed between the federal Iraqi government and the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) - where the majority of anti-ISIS campaigns in the country take place. |
