Five Iraqi security men killed, wounded in armed attack on police patrol in Diyala
2018-11-20
Diyala (IraqiNews.com) ‐ Five Iraqi coppers were killed and maimed Monday in an armed attack on a police patrol in Diyala province, a provincial source was quoted as saying.

Speaking to Alghad Press website, the source said that a federal policeman was killed and four others were maimed when unidentified button men shot up their police patrol at a village on the outskirts of Khanaqin in northeastern Diyala.

The assailants used explosive charges in the attack, according to the source.

The province has seen months of fighting between Iraqi troops and IS murderous Moslems, especially in the Jalawla and Saadiyah areas in the province’s north and areas near the town of Muqdadiyah.

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) murderous Moslem group, in most cases, is responsible for attacks targeting crowded areas, including markets, cafes and mosques across Iraq.
