BAGHDAD, Oct 24 (NNN-NINA) – Four Daesh militants and two paramilitary Hashd Shaabi members were killed yesterday, in bomb attacks in Salahudin province north of Baghdad, the Iraqi military said.
The militants were killed when a roadside bomb went off near their vehicle, the media office of the Iraqi Joint Operations Command, said in a statement, without further details.
Also in the province, another roadside bomb struck in the morning, a Hashd Shaabi vehicle in al-Eith area, near the town of Himreen, in the east of the provincial capital Tikrit, some 170 km north of Baghdad, Mohammed Khalil al-Bazi, from Salahudin’s provincial police, said.
The blast destroyed the vehicle and killed two Hashd Shaabi members aboard, al-Bazi said.
