Islamic State claims attack that killed Iraqi policeman in Kirkuk

The Islamic State claims responsibility for an attack a day earlier that killed an Iraqi federal policeman and wounded others southwest of the oil-rich city of Kirkuk.

The attack was the first reported assault by Islamic State terrorists on Iraqi security forces since US forces completed their withdrawal from Iraq on ​September 30, ending the military mission in the country.
