Hawijah

ISIS has killed several residents attempting to flee Hawijah, officers and local officials said today, as Iraqi forces prepared for an operation against the jihadist-held area.

A wave of bombings killed 65 people in Baghdad province on Saturday night, officials said, as Iraq struggles to contain its worst violence since 2008, in which over 520 have died this month.

Attacks killed eight people in town squares in Iraq today, including seven who died when a suicide bomber dressed in army uniform set off his car rigged with explosives just before midday prayers.
