A suicide attack west of Baghdad killed at least six troops Saturday, officials told AP.    

According to police, an attacker drove the bomb-laden car into a military headquarters in Garma, a town in Al Anbar province where Iraqi forces and allies have been fighting Daesh militants. 

Along with airstrikes conducted by a U.S.-led coalition, Iraqi troops have been pushing to drive out Daesh militants from Garma, which is located near Daesh-held Fallujah
