Suicide bomber kills two cops as clashes continue
A suicide bomber has killed two Iraqi policemen near a former bastion of Daesh, days after Daesh claimed a similar attack near Syria’s border, a security official said Friday.
On Thursday morning a “suicide bomber wearing an explosive vest drove a booby-trapped car into a federal police checkpoint” near Hawija, north of Baghdad, one official said.
“Two policemen were killed and a third one wounded,” in the attack, the official added. Hawija is one of the last Daesh holdouts retaken by government troops a year ago and has long been a bastion of radical groups.
