ISIS terrorists attack Iraqi police convoy in Kirkuk
[THEBAGHDADPOST] The ISIS armed faceless myrmidons once again targeted the Iraqi federal police west of Kirkuk,... a thick stew of Arabs, Turkmen, Kurds, and probably Antarcticans, all of them mutually hostile most of the time... killing at least two coppers. According to a statement by Iraq’s War Media Cell, the attack took place early morning on Sunday near Riyadh subdistrict of Kirkuk province. The police convoy was delivering food supplies to outposts in the region when it came under attack. The remaining ISIS Lions of Islam in Kirkuk enjoy so-called security vacuum since the Iraqi government took control of the disputed Kurdish province in October 2017. Iraq declared final victory over IS back in December 2017. The group, however, remains a serious threat to country’s stability with its frequent terrorist attacks on security forces and civilians.
