, a security source said on Thursday.

"The operation was carried out on the road linking between Hatra and Mosul, based on intelligence information," the source told the Ottoman Turkish Anadolu agency.

"Joint security troops, backed by special combat forces from the Rapid Response (Interior Ministry) managed to kill all of the 17 gunnies before they escape."

Fake identities were possessed by the turbans, the source said, "in addition to possessing developed telecommunications devices and different kinds of weapons."
