路透社援引两名安全消息人士的话称，10月5日，伊斯兰国武装分子袭击了石油资源丰富的基尔库克市西南部的联邦警察哨所，造成至少一名伊拉克联邦警察死亡、四人受伤。
BAGHDAD, Oct 5 - At least one Iraqi federal policeman was killed and four others wounded on Monday when Islamic State militants attacked a federal police site southwest of the oil-rich city of Kirkuk, two security sources told Reuters.
消息人士称，袭击者使用半自动机枪和狙击步枪，向驻扎在基尔库克西南约70公里（43英里）哈维贾附近的联邦警察团开火。
The attackers used semi-automatic machine guns and sniper fire against the federal police regiment stationed near Hawija, about 70 km (43 miles) southwest of Kirkuk, the sources said.
目前尚无组织宣称对袭击负责。但安全和军队消息人士表示，仍在该地区活动的伊斯兰国武装分子参与了此次袭击。
There was no immediate claim of responsibility. But security and army sources said Islamic State militants, who are still active in the area, were involved in the attack.
这是自9月30日美军完成从伊拉克撤军、结束在伊军事任务以来，首次报道的伊斯兰国武装分子针对伊拉克安全部队的袭击。
The attack is the first reported assault by Islamic State militants on Iraqi security forces since US forces completed their withdrawal from Iraq on September 30, ending the military mission in the country.
美国曾领导一个联盟，在打击伊斯兰国的战斗中支持伊拉克部队，包括防止该武装组织重新集结的努力。
The United States had led a coalition that supported Iraqi forces in the fight against Islamic State, including efforts to prevent the militant group from regrouping.
华盛顿表示，撤军后将继续提供有针对性的训练和情报支持，而伊拉克部队将全面承担该国的安全以及清剿伊斯兰国残余势力的责任。
Washington said it would continue to provide targeted training and intelligence support after the withdrawal, while Iraqi forces would take full responsibility for the country’s security and for suppressing Islamic State remnants.
伊拉克安全官员在美军撤退前向路透社表示，尽管伊斯兰国自封的“哈里发国”近十年前已被击败，但该组织在伊拉克仍保留着潜伏细胞。
Despite the defeat of Islamic State’s self-declared caliphate nearly a decade ago, the group retains sleeper cells in Iraq, Iraqi security officials told Reuters ahead of the US withdrawal.
美军撤离引发了人们对安全真空可能为伊斯兰国恢复实力提供契机的担忧，一些官员警告称，伊拉克军队现在必须在没有联军军事存在的情况下遏制该组织。
The withdrawal had raised concerns that a security vacuum could provide an opening for Islamic State to regain strength, with some officials warning that Iraqi forces would now have to contain the group without the coalition’s military presence.
