Kirkuk: An air strike in Iraq completely levelled one of the Islamic State jihadist group`s largest car bomb factories on Wednesday in a massive explosion heard for kilometres (miles), officials said.

The strike hit a facility at the entrance to the town of Hawijah in northern Iraq that was used to rig vehicles, including armoured Humvees, with explosives for bombings that are one of IS`s deadliest tactics, they said
