10 ISIL militants killed in west Iraq

Volunteer Iraqi Shia fighters have engaged the ISIL Takfiri terrorists in the western province of Anbar, killing nearly a dozen of the militants.

On Tuesday, Brigadier General Abdul Amir al-Khazraji, deputy commander of Iraq’s Special Forces known as the Golden Division in Anbar, said ten ISIL terrorists were killed in clashes with Shia forces in the Hay al-Aramil district of the provincial capital city of Ramadi, located about 110 kilometers (68 miles) west of the capital, Baghdad, Iraq’s al-Sumaria satellite TV network reported.

Khazraji further noted that units of security forces also managed to thwart a terrorist onslaught against Hay al-Andalus district of the city.

Meanwhile, Iraq’s Ministry of Human Rights announced that ISIL extremists have executed 23 civilians, among them a woman, in the militant-held northern city of Mosul, located some 400 kilometers (248 miles) north of Baghdad, on the alleged ground that they were in collaboration with Iraqi security forces.
