The Islamic Unity Movement of Kurdistan

The Islamic Unity Movement of Kurdistan (IUMK) was a Kurdish Islamist organization formed in 1999 by the merger of the Islamic Movement of Kurdistan (IMK), al-Nahda, and Kurdish Hamas. Very little is known about the IUMK, other than that it carried out a number of terrorist attacks against PUK and KDP strongholds throughout Iraqi Kurdistan. The group fell apart in 2001 when a large number of its members split off with Ali Bapir to form the Kurdistan Islamic Group and with Mullah Krekar to form the Reformist Group. Ali Abdul Aziz subsequently reformed the IMK with the remaining members of the IUMK.
