Islamic State Attack Kills 11, Injures Dozens in Iraq - Reports
Islamic State fighters killed 11 Iraqi troops and allied tribal fighters in suicide and roadside bombing attacks in Iraq’s northern Anbar province, according to reports.
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — The attacks in Haditha resulted in the death of 11 Iraqi troops and 30 injuries, according to Haditha councilman Khalid Suleiman.
4 January 2016, 20:47 GMT
US Department of Defense spokesman Col. Steve Warren stated that the use of suicide car bombs followed by an infantry assault is now a "standard tactic" for the Islamic State, also known as Daesh.
The Haditha attacks follow significant gains by the Iraqi and allied forces in retaking the Islamic State-held city of Ramadi.
On Sunday, Lt. Gen. Abdul-Ghani Asadi, commander of Iraq’s anti-terrorism contingent, told Sputnik that the parts of Ramadi still held by Daesh should be liberated by Iraqi forces in the coming week.
