Militants ambush convoy with off-duty Iraq soldiers, kill 10

BAGHDAD -- Iraq's military says militants have ambushed a convoy of off-duty soldiers near a town in the country's sprawling western desert, killing at least 10 and wounding 20.

 

Maj. Emad al-Dulaimi said on Monday that the attack took place the night before near the town of Rutba. He says the militants were armed with assault rifles and rockets.

 

It wasn't immediately clear who carried out the attack but al-Dulaimi blamed the Islamic State group.
