Tikrit

Heavy clashes erupted between Daesh and Iraqi forces five kilometers west of Tikrit, a security source says. [Baghdadia]

 

DaeshDaily comment: In desert areas in western Salahuddin governorate, Daesh attack units have been operating in smaller groups of around ten fighters or less, sometimes supported by one or two vehicles rigged with explosives. These nimble units, designed for surprise attacks, are less vulnerable to airpower. In addition to their role in Daesh’s strategy to control the local area, the surprise attacks appear intended in large part to distract from their defeats in other areas where they have lost ground, in effect to bolster the credibility of the Daesh slogan that the Islamic State is “remaining and extending.” It is however worrisome to see such operations so close to Tikrit, which was cleared of Daesh forces.

DaeshDaily comment: Without naming anyone directly, the MP seems to be referring to former Prime Minister Maliki, who would have been in office during the time of the conduct under investigation.

 

An informed source says the Christian Patriarch Mar Luis Sako asked for demonstrations against article 26 in the National Card Law. The article states that the children of Muslim parents would become Muslims even if their other parent was not a Muslim. [IraqPress]

Daesh Daily comment. This new law angered all non-Muslims in Iraq. It violates the constitution and the rights of Iraqis and violates an Islamic principle that says there is no forcing of religion. Apparently Iraqi politicians are more focused on gaining political advantages at the expense of minorities.

[Hawar] [PUKMedia] [Welati]

DaeshDaily comment: Syrian Democratic Forces are attempting to capture more border stations between Syria and Iraq, which would enable them to cut off lines of supply between Daesh’s territory in Syria and Iraq; this would be a major development if it occurs.

DaeshDaily comment: Sadad is a Christian town near Homs; it is plausible that Assyrian Christian fighters would coordinate with the regime to operate there; however we are more skeptical on the plausibility of Kurdish YPG forces’ involvement.

REPORTS FROM OTHER MIDDLE EAST/NORTH AFRICAN COUNTRIES

Daesh audio newsletter for today in English [Archive]

 

Jordan. Local sources say the Jordanian Captain went to the training center carrying an AK-47 and didn’t use the official M16 in the attack. During lunch he started shooting, killing six and wounding seven before he was killed. Local sources say the killer didn’t kill himself; he was shot. The killer’s family is still refusing to accept the official statement. They say their son couldn’t have killed these people. [Khaberni] [Ammon] [Ammon]

DaeshDaily comment. Within tribal law, the family of the killer is held accountable for the families of the victims even if he was killed. That’s the reason the family is denying, because now they have to answer to the Jordanian victims’ families. In similar cases, Daesh published videos of such terrorists pledging allegiance before the attacks. What might they say if Daesh publishes a video like that with their family member?. 

 

Saudi Arabia. Unknown armed men opened fire on a traffic police patrol in Qatif in a Shia area, wounding a policeman and two civilian bystanders, an Interior Ministry spokesman says. [BasNews]

 

Iran. The Iran Ministry of Intelligence says forty foreign people from countries in the region were arrested in eleven parts of Iran, while trying to join Daesh in Iraq and Syria. [Arabi21]
