Iraq: ISIL kills Seven Soldiers.
ISIL fighters have killed at least seven Iraqi soldiers and wounded 16 others in a series of attacks in the country's Anbar province, security sources said.
Wednesday's attacks targeted several positions held by Iraqi forces in Anbar province, west of Baghdad, the sources added.
Iraqi forces were bringing reinforcements to the area under attack, near the city of Ramadi, as clashes continued several hours after the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, also known as ISIS) fighters attacked the troops with suicide car bombs, mortars and machine guns.
ISIL fighters were driven out from Ramadi in late 2015 but a low-intensity guerrilla war has continued in the region.
ISIL Attack.
Earlier this month, ISIL reportedly killed at least 60 people and injured dozens more in a pair of gun-and-car attacks near the city of Nasiriyah in southern Iraq.
Those attacks started with unidentified assailants opening fire inside a restaurant on the main highway that links the capital Baghdad with the southern provinces. Shortly afterwards, an explosives-laden car targeted a security checkpoint in the same area.
