SALADIN
Thirty militants from the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant (ISIL) were killed early Sunday in Iraqi army airstrikes in the northern Saladin province and Al-Anbar, security officials said.
Iraqi troops have taken back the Karagol region in southern Baghdad, which was ISIL control, Commander of Baghdad Operations and Lieutenant General Abdul Amir ash-Shimri told the press.
U.S. air forces also supported the operations, Shimri added.
Meanwhile, security sources stated that ISIL militants killed the leader of al-Buhamdan tribe, Amr Ali ad-Davud at his home in eastern Mosul, for refusing to obey the terrorist group’s orders.
In another incident, fifteen ISIL fighters were killed Sunday by the Iraqi army forces in al-Anbar.
The army conducted airstrikes in the city center, destroying four Russian-made heavy machine guns, or Dushka, al-Anbar police chief Ahmad Saddaq ad-Duleymi said.
