BAGHDAD, May 28 (NNN-NINA) – Three militants of the Daesh group were killed yesterday, in a clash with paramilitary Hashd Shaabi forces, in Iraq’s western province of Anbar, a Hashd Shaabi statement said.
The clash occurred during an operation by the Hashd Shaabi forces, to hunt down the Daesh militants, in the desert area of Wadi Huran, west of the provincial capital Ramadi, some 110 km west of Baghdad, the statement said.
The Daesh militants are still active in the vast Anbar desert that stretches to the Iraqi borders with neighbouring countries of Syria, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia. They are infiltrating Iraq from Syria across the nearly 600-km border, in an attempt to regroup again.
Over the past few months, Iraqi security forces have conducted operations across the country against the Daesh militants, to crack down on their intensified activities.– NNN-NINA
