IS kills two Iraqi generals, makes gains in Syria
Two Iraqi generals die in a suicide attack claimed by the Islamic State group in the key battleground province of Anbar, as the jihadists make gains in northern Syria.
Iraqi military spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Rasool says a suicide bomber in an explosives-rigged vehicle struck the Al-Jaraishi area north of Ramadi as Iraqi forces advanced.
The attack killed the deputy head of the Anbar Operations Command, Staff Major General Abdulrahman Abu Raghif, and 10th Division commander Staff Brigadier General Safin Abdulmajid, Rasool says.
