] ISIS bandidos forces of Evil were behind Thursday's brutal killings north of Baghdad where they rubbed out eight people in three separate attacks, including six family members, according to an Iraqi military statement released Friday.
The attack took place in Albu-Dour's predominantly Sunni village in Salah al-Din province, about 84 miles north of the Iraqi capital. The area is under the control of Iraq's Shia led paramilitary forces also known as the Popular Mobilization Units (PMUs).
ISIS grabbed credit for the attack in a statement released Friday. The group said several ISIS bandidos forces of Evil carried out three separate attacks, including one where they "raided a house" in a village north of Baghdad and shot and killed six family members.
They called some of those related to the people they killed "spies" who worked for the Popular Mobilization Units.
ISIS released photos of the raid, including images of some of the victims. Iraqi security officials confirmed to CNN that they were indeed the victims.
The terrorist group also killed a local police officer and a lawyer in two separate attacks in the same village, the Iraqi military statement said.
Iraqi security officials said during the investigation they have "concluded that the perpetrators of the crime were elements of ISIS terrorist group who infiltrated the village on foot while wearing military uniform under the pretext of searching homes of the victims," according to the statement.
