​Baghdad: Officials say militants have attacked a state-run natural gas plant outside the Iraqi capital, killing at least 11 people.
A police officer says Sunday's assault started at dawn with a suicide car bomber hitting the main gate of the plant in the town of Taji, about 20 kilometers (12 miles) north of Baghdad. Then several suicide bombers and militants broke into the plant and clashed with the security forces. He added that 15 other troops were wounded.
Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for a coordinated dawn assault on a natural gas plant north of the capital.
A report Monday by the IS-affiliated Aamaq news agency credits a group of "Caliphate soldiers" for the attack on the plant in the Baghdad suburb of Taji.
A medical official confirmed the casualty figures. Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to release information.
