Two Iraqi policemen were killed in a bomb blast in Iraq’s northern Saladin province on Sunday, according to a local police officer.
A police vehicle struck a roadside bomb south of Al-Shirqat town in northern Saladin, Police Lieutenant Salahuddin al-Jabbouri said.
He said four other police personnel were injured in the attack.
Though no group has yet claimed responsibility for the bombing, Iraqi authorities usually blame the ISIS terrorist group for that kind of attacks.
In the summer of 2014, ISIS overran much of northern and western Iraq.
After a three-year war, the Iraqi government declared late in 2017 that ISIS's military presence in Iraq had been all but ended through operations backed by a U.S.-led international alliance.
