Iraq
Suicide bomber kills 10 people north of Baghdad
2016-07-26
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] A jacket wallah detonated an explosives-rigged vehicle near a checkpoint north of Baghdad on Monday, killing 10 people, officials said.

The blast at the entrance to the town of Khales also maimed 36 people, according to Hassan al-Mamuri, the local official responsible for the area, and Faris al-Azzawi, the front man for the Diyala province health department.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack, but ISIS carries out frequent suicide kabooms in Iraq.

The blast came a day after a suicide kaboom claimed by ISIS killed at least 15 people in Baghdad's Kadhimiyah neighborhood.

ISIS overran large areas north and west of Baghdad in 2014, but Iraqi forces have since regained significant ground and are conducting operations to set the stage for the battle to recapture djinn-infested Mosul

, the last ISIS-held city in the country.

The Death Eaters have responded to the battlefield setbacks by striking civilians, and experts have warned there may be more such attacks as the Death Eaters continue to lose ground.
