IS suicide attack kills 5 in Ramadi, Iraq

BAGHDAD: A suicide attack carried out by Islamic State group fighters killed at least five members of the Iraqi security forces on Monday in the city of Ramadi, army officers said.

The Iraqi army earlier this year regained control of Ramadi, the capital of the country’s vast Anbar province, and in recent weeks has been battling to retake Fallujah, another city in the province, from IS jihadists.
