Samarra - Three suicide bombers attacked a United States base in central Iraq on Monday, wounding three American soldiers, the US military said.

In a co-ordinated attack on the base at around 7am, "two car bombs were detonated at the perimeter of the base, killing their suicide drivers", the military said in a statement.

As soldiers responded to the attack, a third suicide bomber, this time wearing a vest with explosives, walked up to the scene.

Soldiers shot at him and he detonated his explosive vest, killing himself but causing no other injury or damage, the military added.
