Baku-APA. Four Iraqi soldiers were killed and three others wounded in a checkpoint attack near Baghdad Tuesday night, a police source said, APA reports quoting Xinhua.
Unidentified gunmen using silenced weapons launched the attack on an army checkpoint in Ak Nibaie area, 50 km north of Baghdad, the source told Xinhua on condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to release the information.
The assailants fled the scene after the attack and the police has launched a manhunt, the source added.
Security forces and government officials are top targets of insurgent attacks to undermine the government’s efforts to stabilize the violence-ridden country.
