Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleKIRKUK, Iraq — At least 25 civilians and members of government forces have been killed in northern Iraq since late Sunday in attacks by the Islamic State terror group, officials say.
A police officer tells AFP that IS jihadists killed 15 people at a fake roadblock on a major highway in Kirkuk province, north of Baghdad. Another IS attack in the same province killed three others, the officer says.
In the Mosul region, seven people, including the mayor of a village, were killed by IS assailants disguised as soldiers, a local official says.
The attacks come despite Baghdad’s declaration of victory over the jihadist group last year.
