ISIL Takfiri terrorists have launched attacks in a town in Iraq’s western Anbar Province, killing at least six people.
According to the reports, the police chief of the town of Amriyat Fallujah, Col. Ali al-Issawi, said on Saturday that the victims — a civilian and five security forces — were killed when 14 ISIL terrorists launched coordinated raids at military, government and residential buildings in the town.
Al-Issawi said five of the attackers blew themselves up while clashing with security forces, and nine others who had been holed up inside buildings were later killed by security forces.
He added that another 18 people were wounded in the attacks.
Earlier accounts by Iraqi security officials had reported fewer bombers, and the civilian death toll had been reported higher.
