ISIL suicide bomber kills Iraqi troops near Ramadi

Fighters from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) group have killed 18 Iraqi soldiers in a suicide car attack north of Ramadi, after being driven from the city by Iraqi Security Forces last month. 

Military sources say the attack took place this morning in the town of Al-Bu Dhiaab. 

Three ISIL suicide bombers attempted to attack members of the 39th brigade of the 10th army division, but two of their vehicles were demolished by anti-tank missiles. 

The third bomber, however, managed to make his way to the gate of the army's headquarters and detonated the explosives, killing at least 18 soldiers.
