A security source said Monday that Islamic State fighters attacked a riverside town north of Baghdad, with gunboats and a car bomb, killing 17 people and wounding 54. Among the dead in the attack, the largest of its kind in the area, were civilians and Iraqi forces. The town--Dhuluiya--is part of a belt of Sunni Muslim towns north of Baghdad, where the hardline Sunni Muslim Islamic State has managed to wrestle some control, often aligning with local militia who distrust the Shi'ite-led government. http://bit.ly/1tETbEG http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ
