11 workers killed as 'Islamic State' targets Iraq power plant with suicide-bomb attack

Militants attacked targets in and around the northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk today in an assault quickly claimed by the so-called 'Islamic State' group and aimed at diverting attention from the battle to retake 'IS'-held Mosul.

At least 11 workers, including two Iranians, were killed when 'IS' militants stormed a power plant north of Kirkuk and then blew themselves up.
