BBC Isis in Iraq: Militants 'getting stronger again' 23 Dec 2019 By Orla Guerin

There are growing indications that the Islamic State (IS) group is re-organising in Iraq, two years after losing the last of its territory in the country. Kurdish and Western intelligence officials have told the BBC that the IS presence in Iraq is a sophisticated insurgency, and IS attacks are increasing.

A different kind of IS has emerged, he says, which no longer wants to control any territory to avoid being a target. Instead - like their predecessors in al-Qaeda before them - the extremists have gone underground, in Iraq's Hamrin Mountains.

"If we have political unrest," he said, "this is Heaven or Christmas come early for ISIS."

According to Peshmerga intelligence reports, IS ranks in the area have recently been reinforced by about 100 fighters who crossed the border from Syria, including some foreigners with suicide belts.
