TIKRIT, Iraq, Aug. 7 (Xinhua) -- Ten security members were killed and seven others injured Sunday as three Islamic State (IS) suicide bombers attacked the
troops' posts in a northern Iraqi village, a security source told Xinhua.
The three suicide bombers opened fire against security forces in a village close to the militant-controled town of Qayyara, 50 km north of the IS major
stronghold in Mosul, sparking heavy armed clashes with troops before detonating
their vests, the source said on condition of anonymity.
Last month, security forces freed several villages close to the town of Qayyara after recapturing a strategic airbase, considered a significant victory,
as the airbase is crucial for both the troops and aircrafts in their attacks
against IS as they free the northern city of Mosul, 400 km north of the Iraqi
capital of Baghdad.
The troops' advance into Qayyara is part of a major offensive operation aiming to free areas in southern Mosul, including Qayyara, and to surround Mosul
from the south and east before advancing into the city and flushing IS militants
out of it.
Iraq has witnessed intense violence since the IS took control of parts of its northern and western regions in June 2014.

Michael Phelps is all done racing at the U.S. Olympic swimming trials.
But he might get in the pool one more time.
Eager to be on all three relays at the Rio Games, Phelps said he's considering whether to do a time trial Sunday in the 100-meter freestyle at
the CenturyLink Center.
Several other swimmers might join him nike air max 97 ireland , but Phelps will mainly be competing against the clock.
Phelps withdrew from the 100 and 200 free in Omaha, wanting to focus on his best individual events cheap nike air max tn , but he's a longtime stalwart on the U.S. relay teams.
At the Olympics, Phelps will surely swim butterfly on the 4x100 medley relay and take part in the 4x200 free relay. But he's never specialized
in the 100 free and nike air max tn ireland , after posting some sluggish times even while winning all three of his events at the trials, he might want to show the
coaching staff what he's worthy of being on the 4x100 free relay.
Phelps does have one edge: the head coach of the U.S. men's team is Bob Bowman nike air max zero ireland , who also happens to be Phelps' personal coach.

Lindsay Vrooman didn't make the U.S. Olympic team, but she didn't walk away from trials empty-handed.
