SULAIMANI — One member of Iraqi forces was
killed and another injured in an Islamic State (ISIS) attack on a checkpoint in
Daquq district, in Kirkuk governorate on Monday (March 21), according to a security source.
The source informed NRT the attack occurred
at an Iraqi army checkpoint in the village of Albu Muhamad. Iraqi forces confronted
the militants, leading to the death of one member of the Iraqi army and the
injury of another.
Federal security forces, in cooperation
with the Peshmerga and the Popular Mobilization Forces (Hashd al-Shaabi), aided
by airstrikes from the global coalition, declared victory over ISIS in December
2017.
Since then, the militant group has resorted
to guerrilla hit-and-run tactics but remains a potent threat in some parts of
the country.
