snuffies were killed last night as they were trying to sneak into al-Daur district in Salahuddin.

Speaking to al-Watan Newspaper, the source said that a force from the 21st brigade of the paramilitary al-Hashd al-Shaabi (Popular Mobilization Forces) set an ambush last night for a group of IS holy warriors, who were trying to infiltrate into al-Daur district in order to target security premises and houses there.
