Mourning after Deadly New Daesh Attack North of Iraqi Capital - Tasnim News Agency

Iraq's Salahaddin province declared three days of mourning from Sunday over a deadly attack carried by the Daesh terror group.

Late Saturday, a roadside bomb hit a civilian car on an open road near Mt. Makhoul, about 200 kilometers (120 miles) north of Baghdad, police and a local official said.

When security forces arrived at the scene, terrorists opened fire on them, police said.

The attack killed at least six Iraqi security personnel and four civilians, including one who died of his wounds overnight, according to local medics.

Both the mayor and police said the ambush was the work of Daesh terrorists, although no immediate claim of responsibility was issued.
