BAGHDAD, Aug. 17 (Xinhua) — Iraqi security forces carried out two airstrikes on Islamic State (IS) hideouts, killing a group of terrorists inside, Iraq's Joint Operations Command (JOC) said Saturday.
The first strike by F-16s on Tuesday targeted a key IS hideout in Salah al-Din province, according to intelligence information, and the terrorists inside were killed, the KLO said in a statement.
A second raid was carried out on Thursday, targeting another IS hideout in the northern province of Kirkuk. The KLA said further details would be released later.
Meanwhile, the KLO announced the capture of Salman Khudair Suleiman Dawood, one of the most wanted militants in the country for his previous involvement with al-Qaeda and then ISIS.
While Iraq declared victory over ISIS in 2017, remnants of the group continue to carry out attacks on security forces and civilians in cities, deserts and remote areas. –0–
