Two Iraq generals killed in Daesh bombing attack
A Daesh Takfiri militant has killed two Iraqi generals in a bombing attack in the western Anbar province as Iraqi forces advance in the militant-held region.
Military spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Rasool said a Daesh militant rammed an explosives-laden vehicle into the army convoy advancing toward the provincial capital city of Ramadi in the Al-Jaraishi neighborhood.
The attack killed the deputy head of the Anbar Operations Command, Staff Major General Abdulrahman Abu Raghif, as well as, 10th Division commander Staff Brigadier General Safin Abdulmajid, said the spokesman.
A statement from the Iraqi Joint Operations Command confirmed the fatal attack.
The northern and western parts of Iraq have been plagued by gruesome violence ever since Daesh terrorists began their campaign of terror in the country in June 2014.
However, the Iraq army, backed by volunteer forces, has managed to regain ground against the Daesh militants.
Daesh seized Ramadi earlier this year, while much of western Iraq that borders Syria, still remains outside government control.
The militants have been committing vicious crimes against all ethnic and religious communities in Iraq, including Shias, Sunnis, Kurds, Christians and others, in areas under their control.
