Dozens of troops to Iraq Suicide attacks kill BY


At least 12 members of the Iraqi security forces have been killed in a suicide bomb attack on the former US base of Camp Speicher, outside Tikrit.
Two suicide attacks blamed on the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) group have killed dozens of government troops in Iraq.
Most of the dead were police recruits.
Another 22 were wounded in the attacks by suicide bombers on the base, a former US military facility north of Baghdad, where a large group of police forces from Nineveh, a northern province, were undergoing training.

ISIL claimed responsibility for the blasts in a statement distributed by supporters online, adding that "trainers from the rejectionist army" were targeted.
ISIL fighters have launched a number of attacks since losing control of the city of Ramadi in the western province of Anbar a week ago.
Iraq's Defence Ministry says IS has stepped up suicide attacks since it lost control of Ramadi.
