Update for Friday, October 13, 2017
Tensions are rising over the Kurdistan independence referendum and disputed territories.
Kurdistan boosts peshmerga presence in Kirkuk region, fearing Iraqi military action, but they move back their front lines to avoid immediate confrontation.
Turkey moves troops to the Kurdistan border including tanks.
Baghdad denies rumors that it has already launched operations near Kirkuk, but peshmerga commanders refer to ominous troop movements by Iraqi forces.
Al Jazeera has a backgrounder and comprehensive reporting on the situation.
There are growing calls for Sunni Arab regional autonomy, although such a state would not be very viable.
Here’s a CBC story on the rescue of hostages Joshua Boyle and his U.S. wife Caitlan Coleman from the Haqqani network.
