[SHAFAQ] A security source in Diyala reported that a policeman and a civilian were maimed, on Friday, in an ISIS attack on a security post on the outskirts of Hibhib village, located 10 km northwest of Baqubah.

The source told Shafaq News Agency a security force rushed to the scene and launched a search campaign to find and arrest the perpetrators.

3 killed in two explosions in Diyala: security media cell
This sounds like a different attack than above, but there aren’t enough details given to be sure.
[Rudaw] One civilian and two other coppers were killed in a double bombing in Diyala province on Friday, the Iraqi military stated. Another four people were maimed.

A first bomb struck a civilian car and the second hit a police patrol in the Abu Saida district, the Security Media Cell stated.

Security forces are inspecting the area and have blamed the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really 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 western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
group (ISIS) for the attack. There has been no immediate claim of responsibility.

In the latest edition of its propaganda newspaper al-Naba, ISIS claimed it had conducted 11 attacks across Iraq, including 4 in Diyala from April 7 to 14, killing and injuring 29 people.

Official warns of repeating al-Jizani scenario in Baquba
[SHAFAQ] The Deputy Commissioner of Baquba, Abdullah Ahmed al-Hayali, called for securing the vicinity of the district, warning of another "al-Jizani" scenario.
I’m sure I’d be concerned, too, if I had any idea what the deputy commissioner meant...
Al-Hayali said in a statement to Shafaq News Agency that the territory extending along the Diyala River from al-Miqdadiyah through to Kharabanat and al-Huwayder areas is devoid of security presence.

"it became a passage and a haven for ISIS operatives to hide and prepare for terrorist attacks, in addition to storing arms and equipment," he added.

Al-Hayali warned of repeating "al-Jizani" incident, "given the poor outcome of the security plans at the outskirts of al-Abbara and Diyala River that only includes short-term searching and combing operations, not to forget leaking the details of the operations to ISIS operatives ahead of their execution."

He also shed light on the nurturing environment that aids ISIS in conducting swift and precise terrorist operations without being able to trace the perpetrators and those complicit with them.

The Deputy Commander of Baquba called for "installing high-tech security cameras, deploying security checkpoints on the roads and in the orchards to monitor and detect suspicious operations or movements."

Al-Abbara district, 15 kilometers from Baquba's center, has been a scene for dozens of terrorist attacks that left dozens of injuries and casualties among civilians and security personnel.
