Summary
Suicide attackers from the ISIS group killed at least 12 Iraqi forces Sunday in a brazen attack on police training at a military base, officials said.
A commando of fighters equipped with rifles and suicide vests snuck into Speicher base, near the city of Tikrit, in the middle of the night.
In a statement posted online, ISIS said its commando reached a center where 1,200 cadets were being trained, sparking clashes that lasted four hours.
ISIS fighters assisted by local insurgents rounded up hundreds of cadets from Speicher, marched them to Tikrit and massacred them in several locations.
The group has launched a number of attacks since losing control of the city of Ramadi in the western province of Anbar a week ago.
A number of ISIS fighters remain in Ramadi but they are not in position to mount a fightback that would challenge the Iraqi forces' control of the city.
