Attack on Iraqi Army Post in Baghdad Kills Several
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Unidentified gunmen killed at least 11 people and wounded 8 others including soldiers in an attack on an Iraqi army post in western Baghdad, police sources and medics said.
The assailants in four vehicles attacked the post in the city's Al Radhwaniya district using grenades and automatic weapons, the sources said. The army and police forces have started an operation in search of the attackers, police sources said on Monday.
Meanwhile, security sources and medics told AFP that the attack was carried out by the Daesh terror group.
"Daesh attacked the monitoring tower, killing five members of the tribal Hashed and six local people who had come to help repel the attack," a security source said.
A medic confirmed the toll and said eight wounded were transferred to a hospital in central Baghdad.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility from Daesh.
