(ISIS) on Sunday grabbed credit for a Saturday attack on Iraqi security forces north of Baghdad that killed at least four people.
ISIS claimed, via its propaganda outlet Amaq news agency, that snuffies had planted two Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) and launched a grenade directly into army barracks in Tarmiyah district, saying they had killed and maimed 16 people.
In a statement on Telegram, Iraq’s security media cell said four soldiers and officers from the army’s 59th brigade were killed in the attack. A source at the time told AFP the attack had been carried out by ISIS, speaking on the condition of anonymity.
Members of the security forces are often targeted by the terror group.
Five Iraqi troops were killed in festivities with ISIS in the same area in February.
ISIS snuffies were also blamed for a Saturday attack against Kurdish Peshmerga forces in Kirkuk province. Three Peshmerga fighters were killed and two were maimed on the Kirkuk-Erbil road close to the village of Qaya Bashi.
In its weekly al-Naba propaganda newspaper released on Thursday, ISIS claimed it had carried out 38 operations across Iraq between April 21 and 28, killing and injuring 74 people.
