[Rudaw] A mortar, believed to have been left by the Islamic State

(ISIS), went kaboom! to a number of children in Bashik town, Nineveh province on Saturday, killing three and injuring another, according to a local official.

Rafaat Smo, deputy governor of Nineveh, told Rudaw on Saturday that a number of children played with a mortar in the Kurdish village of Omarqapchi in Bashik earlier in the day. The bomb, believed to be left by ISIS when it took control of the area in 2014, went kaboom!, killing three children and injuring another.

Smo added that the mortar was not spotted before but recent rains may have uncovered it.
