ISIS claims deadly attack in Iraq’s Tal Afar

The "Islamic State of Iraq and Syria" (ISIS) on Tuesday (December 25th) claimed responsibility for a car bomb attack that rocked Tal Afar in northern Iraq and killed two people, AFP reported.

"A car bomb exploded near a cafe in the Ras al-Jadah district in the centre of Tal Afar," said Abed Alaal Abbas, an official in the city some 70 kilometres west of Mosul.

The blast "killed two and wounded 11 other civilians", he told AFP.

Iraq's joint operations command confirmed the toll.

ISIS claimed responsibility for the attack on the Telegram messaging application.

It was the first attack in Tal Afar since Iraqi forces retook the city from ISIS in August 2017.
