Baghdad: Another IS terrorist attack in Iraq. 11 people were killed. Several people were injured. The terror group attacked the civilians in the village of Shitte in al-Rashid in Diyala province. The announcement was made by Iraqi security officials.
The attack was carried out with machine guns and other weapons. Earlier, two people were abducted by IS militants from the village. It is reported that a ransom was demanded to release them. It is alleged that the attack took place when this demand was not met. But IS has not yet responded to the incident.
Attacks targeting civilians in the country have been declining since the defeat of IS terrorists in Iraq in 2017. But it is reported that the sleeper cells of the terrorist organization are operating here.
