BALAD, Iraq - Three Iraqi soldiers were killed at dawn on Friday when their vehicle hit a roadside bomb in Balad, north of the Iraqi capital, said army Captain Mohammed Nuri.

In a similar attack late on Thursday night, two Iraqi policemen were killed near Tuz in the northern Salaheddin province.

And in Al-Dujail, an unidentified foreign truck driver was also killed by a roadside bomb overnight, said the Iraqi army.

The road between Baghdad and the northern city of Mosul has become one of the most treacherous in Iraq with frequent attacks against supply convoys carrying goods for the US army.

At least seven foreign drivers, most of them Turkish, have been killed on this road since the start of the year.
