Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAt least 23 Iraqi soldiers and government-allied militiamen are killed in an attack by Islamic State militants in the turbulent Anbar province west of Baghdad, Iraqi military and police officials say.
The officials say Sunday’s attack, which killed 17 soldiers and six Sunni militia fighters, takes place in the rural district of Jaramshah, north of Anbar’s provincial capital, Ramadi.
They say the IS fighters use suicide bombings and mortar shells and that the chief of army operations in Anbar, Maj. Gen. Qassim al-Dulaimi, is lightly wounded.
