Three people were killed in two attacks in a town in Salahudin province on Tuesday, a source from U.S. and Iraqi liaison office said.
Unknown gunmen stormed a house early in the morning in the town of Tuz-Khurmato, some 90 km west of the capital city of Tikrit, killing an off-duty soldier and kidnapping one of his relatives who was at the house during the attack, the source from the Joint Coordination Center in the province told Xinhua.
A roadside bomb detonated near a civilian truck, carrying construction materials, on the main road near the town of SulaimanBek near the town of Tuz-Khurmato, killing the driver and another man, the source said..
Violence persists in some Iraqi areas including Salahudin, shaping a setback to the security in the war-torn country after a relative lull of violence as a result of a U.S. military surge.
