MESOP FUNNY ENOUGH : IS KURDS CONTRA IS/BAATHIST ARABS

Conflicts Arise Between Arab and Kurdish IS Militants / Distrust among Kurdish and Arab militants of Islamic State

Basnews – 07.04.2015 16:06 – KIRKUK – Cracks are beginning to appear in the relationship between Arab and Kurdish members of Islamic State (IS) in the Hawija district of southern Kirkuk Province.A security source told BasNews, “Conflicts between Arab and Kurdish IS insurgents have increased because the Kurdish militants are attempting to take complete control in Hawija.”He added, “The conflicts have reached a dead-end. The IS members who were officials in the Ba’ath regime are planning a revolution against IS in Hawija.”IS is comprised of extremists from different national and cultural backgrounds, which has led to infighting among the insurgents. In late 2014 extremists killed 12 members of the group after a difference of opinion.
