Daesh bomb attack hits northern Iraq: Army

Iraq’s army says three suspected Daesh Takfiri terrorists have died after blowing themselves up in northern Iraq but there were no casualties among government forces.

Army spokesman Yahya Rassoul said on Sunday that the incident occurred in a region near the Syrian border, where Daesh sleeper cells are believed to be present.

According to local officials, the suspects were killed as they were trying to attack troops in the village of Qayrawan, south of the mountainous region of Sinjar, which borders Syria.

The incident took place a day after Syrian Kurds pronounced the death of Daesh’s nearly five-year-old “caliphate” after flushing out die-hard terrorists from their very last bastion in eastern Syria.
