Iraq
Journalist tells of surviving ISIS bomb attack

Journalist embedded with Iraqi troops tells harrowing story of coming under Daesh fire

Bartella (Iraq): Our convoy had already been targeted by suicide car bombs three times, over a long day spent under fire. So the Iraqi forces had brought up a tank, and its main gun kept scanning the road ahead toward Mosul.

But the shouts started coming from behind us instead, and when I turned to look, I knew right away: Here was bomb No. 4, seemingly out of nowhere. By the time I saw it, the vehicle was maybe 70 feet away.
