BAGHDAD — Police and military officials say a series of suicide car bombings by the Daesh group targeting a military outpost in Anbar province have killed eight soldiers and injured six.



They say the Monday morning attack west of Anbar’s provincial capital Ramadi involved three vehicles, including two fuel trucks.



The outpost was home to a joint contingent of army soldiers, policemen and allied Sunni militiamen. Late on Sunday, the Iraqi military said in a televised statement that its warplanes have targeted Daesh positions in northern and western Iraq in what it called “qualitative” strikes, including one that targeted a meeting by members of the extremist group in the town of Tel Afar. — AP
