Iraqi Army Kills over 16 ISIL Terrorists in Northern Baghdad
At least 16 terrorists were killed in heavy fighting between the Iraqi army and ISIL Takfiri group in Northern Baghdad.
The Iraqi soldiers continued to flush out the ISIL terrorists from the nearby areas of the capital Baghdad and managed to kill at least 16 militants inside their hideout in the area of al-Masuliyah.
Earlier in the day, the army troops along with volunteer fighters made more gains in their military campaign against the ISIL in the town of al-Karma, located 48 kilometers (30 miles) West of Baghdad, and managed to kill more than 47 terrorists.
The army troops also defused 43 IEDS and destroyed 13 militants’ hideouts during the operation.
The Iraqi soldiers defused 46 improvised explosive devices (IEDs), destroyed 15 militant hideouts, and cleared 14 booby-trapped houses in Sunday’s operations.
The ISIL Takfiri terrorists currently control shrinking swathes of Syria and Iraq. They have threatened all communities, including Shiites, Sunnis, Kurds, Christians, Ezadi Kurds and others, as they continue their atrocities in Iraq.
Senior Iraqi officials have blamed Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and some Persian Gulf Arab states for the growing terrorism in their country.
ISIL has links with Saudi intelligence and is believed to be indirectly supported by the Israeli regime.
