15 Iraqis killed, injured in suicide bombing in Hīt

Fifteen Iraqi people were killed and injured when a suicide bomber blew himself up in Hit city in western Anbar governorate in western Iraq, a security source said on Sunday.

The blast occurred when some Iraqi displaced people were crossing passages provided by the Iraqi security forces to evacuate civilians and move them to shelter camps, the source added.

A number of women and children were among the dead and the wounded, the source underlined.

Meanwhile, six Iraqi people were killed when an explosive charge went off on a road in Al Basatine neighborhood in northern Baghdad.

Baghdad has been hit by explosions on almost a daily basis as Daesh seeks to destabilize the Iraqi capital with its 7 million inhabitants.
