[Rudaw] Suspected 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) Lions of Islam attacked the home of a village chieftain in Salahaddin province late Thursday, killing him, a local official told Rudaw.
The victim was identified as Fakhri al-Abbasi, whose family had also been targeted by the group in previous attacks.
"The victim was the mukhtar of a village within the Samarra district, and he was a Sunni," Kawa Shekhani, advisor to the governor of Salahaddin, told Rudaw on Friday.
He added that "all members of his family, except for one son, were killed by ISIS" in earlier assaults.
The press office of Salahaddin Governor Badr al-Fahl condemned the killing as "a cowardly terrorist act," stressing that "the blood of the deaders will not go in vain."
Shekhani said that following the governor’s directives, security forces were immediately ordered to launch an investigation into the attack.
In a separate statement, the governor’s office said security forces in the area bear responsibility for the "dangerous security breach," urging agencies to intensify efforts to uncover the circumstances of the incident and bring the perpetrators to justice.
