Islam Times - A security source in the Diyala province – Iraq – confirmed that three gunmen affiliated to ISIL - Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant – had been killed and two others wounded by Pesmerga troops, north-east of Baquba.

Over the past weeks violent clashes have opposed ISIL terrorists and Peshmerga fighters as the two have been battling for control over the area.

A source on the ground told Islam Times, “Peshmerga Special Forces " pushed into the west side of Lake Hamrin northeast of Baquba and succeeded in killing three militants.”
A boat was destroyed and ammunitions were confiscated.

As it appears, ISIL was attempting to ferry men and weapons across the lake.
