RAMADI, Iraq, Aug. 25 (Xinhua) -- At least five security members were killed and eight others injured in a suicide car bomb attack by Islamic State (IS) militants in Iraq's western province of Anbar, a provincial security source said on Thursday.
A suicide bomber detonated his car bomb near military positions in Jazirat al-Khaldiyah area, a sprawling agricultural land northwest of Fallujah, some 50 km west of the Iraqi capital of Baghdad, leaving five troops dead and eight others injured, the source told Xinhua on condition of anonymity.
Another bombing attempt was foiled when a suicide car bomber was stopped and killed by troops in the nearby area of Albu Bali, the source said.
Earlier in the month, security forces conducted an offensive to flush out IS militants from rural areas northeast of Fallujah, including Jazirat al-Khaldiyah and Albu Bali.
The offensive was designed to drive out IS militants from the rural areas in north of Euphrates River after government troops and allied militias previously reclaimed key cities and towns, including Ramadi and Fallujah.
However, extremist militants, from their hideouts in the desert area in the northern part of Anbar province, managed to carry out sporadic attacks against security forces in the rural area.
Iraq has witnessed worsening violence since the IS took control of parts of its northern and western regions in June 2014.
Many blame the current chronic instability, cycle of violence and the rise of extremist groups, such as the IS, on the U.S. that invaded and occupied Iraq in March 2003, under the pretext of seeking to destroy weapons of mass destruction in the country.
The war led to the ouster and eventual execution of former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, but no such weapons have been found.
