A joint operation by American and Iraqi forces killed 15 members of the Islamic State group in western Iraq, with seven US troops injured during the operation, US Central Command said Friday.
It said the IS members were"armed with numerous weapons, grenades, and explosive 'suicide' belts," and that Iraqi forces were continuing"to further exploit the locations raided," only specifying that the operation occurred in western Iraq. The operation comes as Baghdad and Washington have been engaged in months of talks over the presence of anti-jihadist coalition forces in Iraq.The United States has some 2,500 troops in Iraq and 900 in Syria as part of the international coalition against the Islamic State group.
Last winter, the Islamic Resistance of Iraq, a loose alliance of Iran-backed groups, claimed some 175 rocket and drone attacks against US troops in Iraq and Syria.
