Islamic State attack kills three soldiers in west Iraq

Islamic State militants
killed three Iraqi soldiers and wounded one during an attack on
Sunday evening on a military post in western Iraq, military
sources said.
Iraqi army sources said militants in two vehicles used
snipers and semi-automatic guns in the attack on army soldiers
stationed at a desert area near the town of Haditha, 190 km (120
miles) west of Baghdad.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, but
Iraqi security and military sources said it was carried out by
Islamic State militants who are active in the area.
Despite the defeat of the Islamic State militant group in
2017, remnants of the group switched to hit-and-run attacks
against government forces in different parts of Iraq.
