Seven Iraqi soldiers lost their lives on Wednesday when a suicide attacker tried to infiltrate a security headquarters near the northern city of Baiji where Daesh [the Arabic acronym for the Takfiri ‘ISIS/ISIL' group] is entrenched in nearby mountain areas, security sources said.

Suicide Attacker Kills Seven Soldiers North Iraq

Around five assailants attacked the compound where police and army troops are based.

One blew up his explosive vest at the entrance while the other four clashed with guards for around three hours, said army colonel Mohammed al-Assadi.

Police and army soldiers managed to kill the four attackers while six policemen and soldiers were also wounded, Assadi said.

Daesh's self-proclaimed caliphate effectively collapsed last month when Iraqi forces completed the recapture of Mosul, the terrorists' capital in northern Iraq, after a nine-month campaign.

Some parts, including small towns and mountain areas, remain under Daesh control, especially along the border.
