The attack occurred late on the night of April 4, when 10 IS militants disguised in police uniform attacked a security checkpoint and stormed the house of a police colonel in Zuhour, a neighborhood in Tikrit. The clashes resulted in the killing of at least five IS militants; three were shot dead, while two others detonated their explosive vests, according to a security source.[3][4][5][6]
