Daash is the former Arabic acronym for the Islamic State jihadist group, while Baath refers to the banned party of executed dictator Saddam Hussein. Kurdish forces moved into disputed territories on the edge of their auto**mous region, in particular taking control of the oil city of Kirkuk, when a jihadist-led alliance of militants swept through **rthwestern Iraq last month. The highly effective peshmerga fighters were in some areas the only rampart against the jihadists but Iraqi Kurdish president Massud Barzani has since vowed they would never leave again.
