As Reuters reports,

The source said the attack on Dhuluiya, around 70 km (45 miles) from the capital, was carried out before dawn and continued for two hours before the militants were pushed back.

Among the dead in the attack, the largest of its kind in the area, were civilians and Iraqi forces. Most of the casualties were caused by the car bomb, which struck a market, the source said.

Dhuluiya is part of a belt of Sunni Muslim towns north of Baghdad where the hardline Sunni Muslim Islamic State has managed to wrestle some control, often aligning with local militia who distrust the Shi’ite-led government.

  1. If the US is behind these creeps, they are moving from Rogue nation to far worse……….the US’s word mean nothing, their own people don’t believe the crap they put out…….the US is begging for a world war. What they don’t seem to realize is that such a war would be focused…..not on Russia or China, but the US.

    This is downright horrifying. Between the genocide we face from Japan, and all the nuclear accidents here in America…….the US already faces death. Right now, it is the west coast, but soon, it will be the entire nation. Nothing is said or done…….we have criminals and crooks in power, and they don’t care who dies.

    The depopulation people make more sense all the time.

  2. There is an old saying; build destruction, you breed it. Breed it, it will turn on you.
    What has happened to this nation is terrifying. Nothing good can come out of it.
