The commander of the Iraqi 1st Division and three of his staff officers were martyred north of Fallujah when terrorists from the so-called Islamic State group ambushed an Iraqi army convoy with a bulldozer packed with explosives.

A besieged soldier narrated the story saying that the suicide bomber attacked the convoy of Humvees and then militants opened fire, killing Brig. Gen. Hassan Abbas Toufan, a colonel and two lieutenant colonels in the Nadhem al-Taqseem region. He added that the information about the security situation there are fabricated and incorrect, demanding the government to send more troops to break their siege.
