Suspected Islamic State gunmen kill 11 at military post outside Baghdad

Unidentified gunmen have killed at least 11 people and wounded eight others, including soldiers, in an attack on an Iraqi army post in western Baghdad, police sources and medics said on Monday.

Assailants in four vehicles attacked the post in the capital’s southwestern district of al-Radhwaniya using grenades and automatic weapons, sources said.

The army and police forces have started an operation in search of the attackers, police sources said. 

The militants threw grenades and fired on the tribal Hashed forces stationed at Al Radwaniyah, on the southern outskirts of the Iraqi capital, near the Baghdad airport.

A medic confirmed the toll to AFP, and said eight wounded were transferred to a hospital in central Baghdad.
