ISIS Targets U.S. Consulate

According to CNN's report, ISIS has claimed a blast that occurred near a U.S. consulate in the city of Irbil, Iraq. The tactic used by the terrorist group involved transporting suicide bombers via an automobile and presumably driving the vehicle as close as possible to the consulate. Although the vehicle was stopped by local police before it could reach the consulate, the explosion was still considerable. No employees in the consulate were hurt, however this specific attempt at targeting U.S. operations in Iraq has been one of many organized by the terrorist group, ISIS, contributing further to the already raised caution of possible attacks.
