The Iraqi police reported that at least 11 people were killed and 8 others were wounded in an attack by gunmen on an Iraqi army position west of the capital, Baghdad, early Monday.
Meanwhile, the army and police forces began a search for the attackers.
The sources told Reuters that among the dead were soldiers, but she did not specify their number, noting that gunmen in 4 cars attacked the site in the Radwaniyah neighborhood at the western entrance to Baghdad with grenades and automatic weapons.
No party has yet claimed the attack, but the French Press Agency quoted security sources as accusing ISIS operatives of launching the attack, in which 5 members of the Tribal Mobilization Forces were killed and 6 people from the area who came to help repel the attack, and indicated that the attack began with firing grenades at a tower Monitor the tribal crowd.
Iraq declared its "victory" over ISIS 3 years ago, but the organization still possesses secret cells and launches attacks from time to time, especially in what is known as the Great Agricultural Belt of Baghdad, where Radwaniyah is the location of the last attack.
