ERBIL, Kurdistan Region – The Islamic State (ISIS) on Sunday released the picture of a suicide bomber who killed six people in a Kurdish Kakei village in northern Iraq and wounded as many more.
The picture, posted on an social media account linked to ISIS, identified the attacker as Abu Bilal Iraq, who appears to have been in his teens. He drove a truck rigged with explosives into the village of Sha Saiywan on Saturday in the village of Khurmatu in Diyala province.
Immediately after the truck bombing, another suicide bomber broke into the village and detonated an explosives belt, but failed to cause any casualties.
Sha Saiywan village is seven kilometers north of Khurmatu and is inhabited by Kakei Kurds.
