BAGHDAD, July 13 (NNN-NINA) – Five Daesh suicide bombers and two security members were killed, when Iraqi forces and U.S.-led coalition aircraft attacked a Daesh hideout near the Iraqi capital, Baghdad.
Acting on intelligence reports, an Iraqi force, affiliated with the intelligence service, surrounded a Daesh hideout housing five suicide bombers, in a village located in the southwest of Baghdad, the media office of the Iraqi Joint Operations Command (JOC), said.
The troops, backed by an international coalition drone, managed to kill four suicide bombers, while the fifth blew himself up, leaving an officer and a soldier killed, the statement added.
The raid came, as the militants intensified their attacks on security forces, including Hashd Shaabi forces, and civilians in the formerly Daesh-controlled provinces, resulting in the killing and wounding of dozens.– NNN-NINA
