释义 |
Al Zab,[1] Al-Zab,[2] or Az-Zab[3] is a town in Iraq administered as part of the Kirkuk Governorate's Hawija District. Between 2014-2017, it was under the control of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and was recaptured by Iraqi government forces during the Hawija offensive in September, 2017. GeographyAl Zab is located just northeast of the Little Zab's confluence with the Tigris River in northeastern Iraq.[1] HistoryAl Zab is located just north of the former site of Shenna, a major settlement during the Abbasid Caliphate which boasted a Nestorian bishopric. Due to the relatively rapid demographic growth of Iraq's Kurdish population, Saddam Hussein added the majority Arab district of Hawija, including Al{{nbsp}}Zab, to the Kirkuk Governorate in 1968 to render it more easily controlled by his Baath Party.[2] In December 2005, during the Iraq War, a resistance bomb detonated near Al{{nbsp}}Zab on its road to Hawija, killing an American soldier.[3] Another bomb on the same road disabled an armored vehicle and killed one soldier in January 2006.[4] Al Zab was occupied by the Islamic State during their Northern Iraq Offensive on 10 June 2014, the same day as the fall of Mosul. It thereafter became a center for their incursions into the Salah al-Din Governorate's Al-Shirqat District.[5] In July 2016, they forcibly and hurriedly evacuated the town's civilian population, leaving them to shift in the desert while IS fighters constructed tunnels which they filled with oil.[5] Natives of the town were among the 25 decapitated or shot as Iraqi collaborators at prisons in Hawija in August 2016.[6] For its part, the Islamic State periodically publicizes its charitable works in the town.[7][8] References1. ^{{cite book |title=Atlas of the World |last=Philip's |year=1994 |publisher=Reed International |isbn=0-540-05831-9 |page=89 }} {{coord|35.266632|43.451740|display=title}}2. ^1 {{citation |last=O'Leary |first=Brendan |title=How to Get Out of Iraq with Integrity |url=https://books.google.com.hk/books?id=idhMxAdrEqkC&printsec=frontcover |location=Philadelphia |publisher=University of Pennsylvania Press |date=2009 |p=[https://books.google.com.hk/books?id=idhMxAdrEqkC&pg=PA152 152] & [https://books.google.com.hk/books?id=idhMxAdrEqkC&pg=PA162 162] |isbn=0812206088 }}. 3. ^1 {{citation |title=The Middle East: Abstracts and Index, Pt. 1 |date=2006 |publisher=Northumberland Press |p=134 |contribution=11469: Resistance Bomb West of Kirkuk Leaves US Soldier Reported Dead }}. 4. ^{{citation |title=The Middle East: Abstracts and Index, Pt. 1 |contribution=12183: US Soldier Reported Killed by Resistance Bomb Southwest of Kirkuk }}. 5. ^1 {{citation |last=Balanian |first=Pierre |contribution-url=http://www.asianews.it/news-en/Islamic-State-begins-deportation-of-residents-from-al-Zab-38059.html |contribution=Islamic State Begins Deportation of Residents from Al-Zab |title=Asia News |url=http://www.asianews.it/news-en/ |date=16 July 2016 }}. 6. ^{{citation |date=26 August 2016 |contribution-url=http://presstv.com/Detail/2016/08/26/481800/Iraq-Takfiri-Daesh-militants-execution-civilians-Hawijah-collaboration-security-forces-Kurdish-Peshmerga-forces |contribution=Daesh Militants Execute Over 25 Young Men in Northern Iraq |title=PressTV |url=http://presstv.com/ }}. 7. ^1 {{citation |url=http://www.daeshdaily.com/ |title=Daesh Daily |date=4 January 2017 |contribution=Daesh Publishes 2 Photos of Its Zakat Activities in Al-Zab City in Hawija }}. 8. ^{{citation |url=http://www.daeshdaily.com/ |title=Daesh Daily |date=6 January 2017 |contribution=Daesh Publishes Photos of Its PR Activities in Al-Zab City }}. 1 : Cities in Iraq |
