TIKRIT, Iraq – Terrorists attacked Iraqi Army members manning a security checkpoint in Diyala Province May 5.

Ten Iraqi Army soldiers were killed and 13 were wounded.

The wounded were evacuated to a nearby medical facility.

“Attacks of this nature against those who are working to protect the citizens of Iraq and make the new Iraq safer for all citizens are yet another example of the barbarous nature of al-Qaeda in Iraq,” said Maj. Peggy Kageleiry, spokesperson for Multi-National Division - North.
