Dozens of Terrorists at Large in Kirkuk

Free Beacon:

Dozens of terrorists who struck Iraq’s oil capital of Kirkuk on Friday are still roaming the city, while Turkmen Shia residents are reeling from an unexplained bombing of a mosque south of the city.

 

“There are possibly 37 terrorists still in the city,” texted Col. Tariq Ahmed Jaff, commander of the Peshmerga’s 9th Brigade Combat Team, from Dakuk south of Kirkuk. Jaff cited security officials in Kirkuk, which has seen relatively few terrorist attacks during the war with the Islamic State.

 

But today, citizens of this large, ancient, and multi-ethnic city are bracing for more shocks after a stunning surprise attack early Friday morning. The terrorists stormed a power plant under construction north of the city, killing 10, and occupied hotels and schools in the south-central part of the city for hours. Most of the 100 fighters have been killed or captured, but an unknown number remain at large.
