ISIS jihadis kill 16 border guards in western Iraq
At least 16 Iraqi border guards were killed Monday in a dawn assault by ISIS jihadis on their post near the Syrian frontier, provincial and security officials said, according to AFP.
"Sixteen border guards, including a captain, were killed and four wounded in an attack targeting their headquarters in Al-Waleed, near the Syrian border," Faleh al-Issawi, deputy head of Anbar provincial council, told AFP.
He said the attack occurred at around 6:00 a.m.
A commander in the Iraqi border force and a police major confirmed the death toll.
Despite the attack, "Al-Waleed is still in the hands of Iraqi forces," the major said.
