Four Iraqi security forces killed in terror attacks in Anbar
At least four Iraqi security forces have been killed and ten others injured in a series of terror attacks in the western Iraqi province of Anbar.
According to local authorities in the town of al-Baghdadi in Anbar Province five bombers targeted a guesthouse early Wednesday, killing a tribal fighter. Ten others were also left wounded in the attack.
Two other assailants later attacked police patrol forces who were headed to the scene. The assailants set off their explosives, killing the local police chief and two policemen.
Al-Baghdadi was recaptured from the Daesh Takfiri terrorists in March 2015.
The United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq says a total of 980 Iraqis were killed and 1,244 wounded in acts of terrorism, violence and armed conflict in December last year.
According to the UN mission, the number of civilian fatalities stood at 506. Violence also claimed the lives of 474 members of the Iraqi security forces. A great portion of the fatalities was recorded in Baghdad, where 261 civilians were killed.
The northern and western parts of Iraq have been plagued by violence ever since Daesh militants began their march through the Iraqi territory in June 2014. Army soldiers and Popular Mobilization units are seeking to take back militant-held regions in joint operations.
