Salahuddin (IraqiNews.com) ‐ Six Iraqi coppers were killed Tuesday while on mission to arrest perpetrators of a terrorist attack in Salahuddin province.
The Iraqi Security Media Cell, in a press statement, stated that a security force came under attack as they launched a manhunt for a terrorist cell implicated in the kaboom of a police vehicle in al-Tarmiyah district in Salahuddin.
Six coppers were killed in the attack and the corpse count is expected to rise, the statement read.
Three of the attackers were killed in the operation as well, it added.
No group has so far grabbed credit for the attack, but the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(IS) krazed killer group, in most cases, is responsible for attacks targeting security forces across Iraq.
Between June 2014 and December 2017, the Islamic State group controlled 88,000 sq km of territory stretching from western Syria to eastern Iraq, imposing its brutal rule on almost eight million people.
The krazed killer group secured billions of dollars in revenue from oil, extortion, robbery and kidnapping.
