Sunni tribal militants who control large parts of northern Iraq attacked a town north of Baghdad early on Sunday, seizing local government buildings; Reuters coated police and residents as saying.
They said militants in 50 to 60 vehicles stormed the town of Dhuluiya, about 70 km (45 miles) north of Baghdad at 3.30 am (0030 GMT), taking the mayor’s office and municipal council building and fighting to take control of the police station.
