Iraqi border guards killed on Monday two members of ISIS group while attempting to infiltrate into Al-Qa’im district in Anbar coming from Syria, a security source was quoted as saying.

“Security forces managed to kill the two men as they were trying to sneak from Syrian territories into the desert of Al-Qa’im in western Anbar,” the source told Iraqi news website Basnews.

The source, who preferred to be unnamed, explained that the “troops intensified their security presence along the borderline with Syria starting from Ar-Rutbah town to Al-Qa’im district” to face any terrorist threat by ISIS.

The terrorist ISIS group still has noticeable presence in different parts of Abu Kamal city and Hajin cities on the country’s borders with Syria, the source concluded. 

Violence in the country has surged further with the emergence of ISIS extremist militants who proclaimed a so-called “Islamic Caliphate” in Iraq and Syria in 2014.
