(FILES) A file picture taken on September 11, 2015, shows smoke rising in the distance behind an Islamic State (IS) group flag and banner after Iraqi Kurdish Peshmerga fighters reportedly captured several villages from IS group jihadists in the district of Daquq, south of the northern Iraqi multi-ethnic city of Kirkuk. The IS group black flag, with the seal of the Prophet, became the international jihad symbol. AFP PHOTO / MARWAN IBRAHIM
