Sulaymanyah, Iraq - Three soldiers from troops - known as peshmerga - from Iraq's Kurdish Autonomous Region were killed and five wounded on Sunday in an ambush hitting their patrol near the city of Baquba.

Gunmen ambushed a group of peshmerga soldiers on the road from Baghdad to the northern city of Sulaymanyah, Kurdish security sources told Deutsche Presse-Agentur dpa.

The attack took place in Habhab, which is part of Baquba, 60 kilometres north-east of Baghdad.

In a separate incident, a senior police officer and two civilians were shot dead on Sunday on a road in Samara, 120 kilometres north of Baghdad.

The three bodies with marks of heavy shooting in different parts were found in a car they were riding, sources from the Tirkit police told dpa.

It is always the same. Of course we'd like to have peace. All you have to do is give all rights and privileges as a human being. It was what Hitler wanted, why not the racicals?

They want the same thing all the time. They say they want peace, but the price is very high, 'Just give up everything you value, and we will let you live.' Hitler wanted the same thing.
