Washington, Rabi'II 24, 1436, February 13, 2015, SPA -- Iraqi Security Forces killed all of the Islamic State attackers on the Iraqi Army facility at the Ain al-Asad airbase in Anbar province, a US defence official tells dpa. The Iraqi forces defeated a "small" Islamic State element, and have since re-secured their facility, the official says on condition of anonymity. "Coalition forces were several kilometers from the attack and at no stage were they under direct threat from this action," the official says. --SPA 20:51 LOCAL TIME 17:51 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
