Iraqi security forces eliminate ISIS terrorist group north of Baghdad

The Iraqi Directorate of General Military Intelligence (DGMI) announced on Friday the elimination of a terrorist group in an ambush in Tarmiyah town, north of Baghdad.

The DGMI explained in a statement that security forces managed to locate the terrorist group after receiving intelligence information, according to the Iraqi News Agency (INA).

The statement further illustrated that armed clashes took place between the terrorist group and the security forces, where two terrorists were killed and a third was injured.

Iraq announced in late 2017 the liberation of all its territories from the grip of ISIS, but the authorities are constantly launching security operations to pursue remnants of the terrorist group that carry out attacks from time to time in the country.

The Iraqi security forces waged battles in several Iraqi governorates, including Nineveh, Kirkuk, Diyala, Salah Al-Din, Anbar, and the outskirts of Baghdad, to eliminate the remaining members of the ISIS group following the elimination of the terrorist group, which occupied large areas in Iraq and Syria for years.
