Kurdistan Brigades
Militant Islamist organization
The Kurdistan Brigades,[5] also known as al-Qaeda in Kurdistan or al-Qaeda's Kurdish Brigades, are a militant Islamist organization, primarily active in the northern Iran–Iraq border. It is the Kurdish branch of al-Qaeda that has launched several attacks on the Kurdistan Regional Government in northern Iraq. After 2010, the group largely faded into obscurity, and there is little verifiable information about its current activities.[6]
