15 IS suicide car bombs targetting Iraq forces 'repelled'
A wave of 15
suicide car bomb attacks by the Islamic State group (IS) against Iraqi
security forces was repelled east of the flashpoint city of Ramadi
Tuesday with limited casualties, officials said. The onslaught was the
latest in a series of attacks by jihadists defending positions in
Ramadi, which Iraqi forces, backed by US-led coalition air strikes, are
trying to retake. "Aircraft of the international coalition and Iraqi
ground forces... repelled a violent attack from Daesh," police Captain
Ahmed al-Dulaimi said, using an Arab acronym for IS.
