Suicide attackers from the Islamic State group (IS, Daesh) killed two Kurdish peshmerga forces on Sunday in an operation against a base in northern Iraq, officers said, Firstpost reports.
"Two members of the peshmerga were killed and five wounded in a suicide attack on K1 base," a major general in the peshmerga told AFP on condition of anonymity.
He said five armed men wearing suicide belts attacked the base, where he said foreign advisers from the US-led coalition assisting Iraq against the jihadists were stationed. "The attack was thwarted and all the attackers were killed," the officer.
