RAMADI， Iraq， Nov. 16 (Xinhua) -- Iraqi security forces foiled five suicide attacks by Islamic State (IS) militants Wednesday against a military base in Iraq's Anbar， killing three soldiers and wounding eight others， a provincial security source said.
The attack occurred early in the morning when IS militants detonated five suicide car bombs against the base in the town of Rutba， 370 km west of the Iraqi capital of Baghdad， the source told Xinhua on condition of anonymity.
The troops opened fire against the attackers and detonated four car bombs before reaching their targets， but the fifth suicide bomber managed to approach the entrance of the base and detonated his car bomb， killing three soldiers and wounding eight others， along with the five suicide bombers， the source said.
Rutba， which is located on the Baghdad-Amman international road， was taken over by IS in 2014， and recaptured by security forces in mid-May 2016.
Iraqi security forces and allied paramilitary units have been battling IS militants for months to regain control of territories in northern and western Iraq seized by the IS since June 2014.

DOHA Cheap Nike Flyknit Trainer , Aug. 22 (Xinhua) -- Qatar strongly criticized Saudi Arabia for imposing restrictions on flights transporting Qatari hajj pilgrims to the kingdom, Qatar's news agency (QNA) reported Tuesday.
"Limiting the transfer of Qatari pilgrims to Saudi Arabian Airlines only is unprecedented, illogical, surprising and contravenes the teachings of Islam Cheap Nike Air More Uptempo ," QNA quoted Ahmed bin Saeed Al-Rumaihi, the ministry's information office director, as saying in a statement.
The strong worded statement came as Saudi Arabia said Qatari pilgrims can travel to the kingdom to perform hajj only by taking Saudi Arabian airlines.
"It is usual and customary for pilgrims from any country to be transported by the national air, land and sea travel organizations in that country Cheap Nike Vandal High , in addition to other foreign means of transportation, with the latter taking place as part of the national Hajj mission," Al-Rumaihi noted.
The Qatari official highlighted the need to separate hajj from political differences and to avoid hindering hajj performance by imposing conditions that affect the sovereignty of states or the rights and dignity of their citizens.
Earlier, Doha denied a claim by Saudi Arabian Airlines that Qatari authorities refused to allow one of its flights to land inside the country.
Saudi Arabia Cheap Nike Dynasty Hi 17 TC , together with the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt, cut diplomatic ties with Qatar and imposed a full blockade on it in early June, citing Doha's support for terrorism and interfering in the domestic affairs of its neighbors.

Saudi has also allocated seven flights of the Saudi national carrier to bring pilgrims from Qatar, whose national carrier Qatar Airways is barred from flying to the kingdom due to the blockade.
