“ISIL terrorists on Thursday morning fired mortars on a refugee camp in al-Asmeda area, north of Baiji, where hundreds of displaced families who were happy to have escaped ISIL's repression were staying,” Salaheddine police spokesman Hasan al-Majmaie told Diyaruna.

“Six of these mortars fell in the centre of camp, killing 11 civilians, including four children and two women, and wounding 20 others,” he said.
