Iraq

Four policemen were killed in a bombing attack in Baghdad. Mosul policemen repelled an insurgent attack on a police station, killing 2 insurgents in the process. The Iraqi government said they “have confirmation that 50 percent of these takfiris and killers who call themselves Arab jihadists come across the Syrian border.” The US confirms the four helicopters lost over the past two weeks were shot down.
