        A roadside bomb targeting an
        Iraqi army vehicle killed three soldiers in northern Iraq on
        Sunday, police and hospital sources said.
        
        The attack near the town of Tuz Khurmatu, about 175 km (110
        miles) north of the capital Baghdad, critically wounded two
        others, they said.
        
        The Islamic State militant group claimed responsibility.
        
        Its news agency, Amaq, said two senior officers and a
        soldier had been killed and three others wounded.
        
        Islamic State was defeated in 2017 after seizing swathes
        of Iraq and Syria, but remnants continue to conduct hit-and-run
        attacks against government forces.
