As many as three people died and at least 12 others were wounded in an explosion that hit the northern Iraqi city of Tal Afar, media reported on Tuesday.

The Rudaw broadcaster reported, citing local security forces, that it was a car bomb.

​The security forces reported about two people killed and 11 others injured in the blast.

In August 2017, Iraqi city of Tal Afar has been fully liberated from militants of Daesh* terrorist group.

Tal Afar was seized by terrorists in 2014. Before the seizure, it was home to 750,000 people.

Comment: Just as the US promises (for the second time) to extricate it from the chaos it has been causing in the Middle East, terror attacks appear to be increasing:

• Putin: The 'US is right to leave Syria, but no signs of pullout - remember Afghanistan'
• New US commander in Afghanistan finally admits Taliban cannot be defeated after 17 years of useless war
• Taliban attacks on Afghan soldiers surge with 8 killed and 9 captured in latest battle
• Mostly women and children among the 40 murdered by another US-led airstrike in Syria's Deir Ez-Zor
