| [Rudaw] An Iraqi soldier was killed in Kirkuk province on Friday in a suspected attack by the Islamic State (ISIS), a military source told Rudaw. A member of Iraq’s armed forces told Rudaw on condition of anonymity that one of his colleagues from the 44th Brigade was killed in a valley located on the border of Kirkuk and Salahaddin provinces. "Despite a response from my colleagues, no ISIS members were hurt. They managed to run away," said the soldier, who was off-duty at the time of the attack, but was told what occurred by his fellow soldiers. The incident took place in Shay Valley in the Daquq district of Kirkuk province. ISIS has not immediately claimed responsibility. The Iraqi government has said that ISIS is no longer a public security threat as the group has been confined. Baghdad is now in talks with the United States to wind down the global mission against the terror group in Iraq. |
