We report on X-ray follow-up observations performed with Swift/XRT of three unidentified INTEGRAL sources in the third IBIS Survey Catalogue (Bird et al. 2007, ApJS, 170, 175).

IGR J05270-6631
No X-ray source is detected at a confidence level > 3 sigma within the IBIS error box, but just at its border XRT detects a source (at 3.4 sigma confidence level) located at RA(J2000) = 05h 26m 14.58s and Dec(J2000) = -66d 30m 41.6s (5.5 arcsec uncertainty). There are three USNO-B1.0 objects within the XRT error box, one of which is also listed in the 2MASS catalogue. This source is associated with the ROSAT PSPC X-ray source RX J0526.2-6630, classified as a star of B0Ib spectral type in Simbad. The source 2-10 keV flux is ~ 2 x 10^-14 erg cm^-2 s^-1.

IGR J17448-3232
In the XRT field of view we find a bright source (at 9.4 sigma confidence level) located in the vicinity of the IBIS error box and possibly associated to diffuse emission. Its coordinates are RA(J2000) = 17h 44m 37.46s and Dec(J2000) = -32d 32m 20.2s (4 arcsec uncertainty), which suggest an association with the ROSAT Faint Survey source 1RXS J174440.8-323303. Within the XRT uncertainty there is a USNO-B1.0 object having magnitude R = 15.28-15.66, which is also listed in the 2MASS survey. The source X-ray spectrum is either flat (Gamma ~0.8) or steeper (Gamma = 1.8) but absorbed (N_H ~2 x 10²² cm^-2) with an observed 2-10 keV flux of 2.4 x 10^-12 erg cm^-2 s^-1.

IGR J19267+1325
No X-ray source is detected by XRT within the IBIS error box, but just outside there is a bright source (at 20 sigma confidence level) located at RA(J2000) = 19h 26m 27.03s and Dec(J2000) = +13d 22m 03.2s (3.7 arcsec uncertainty), which is most likely associated with the ROSAT Bright Survey source (1RXS J192626.8+132153). Within the XRT uncertainty, there are two IR counterparts in the 2MASS survey and three optical ones in the USNO-B1.0 survey. The X-ray spectrum is described by an unabsorbed power law (Gamma ~1.5) plus a black body component (kT ~0.15 keV). The 2-10 keV flux is 8.3 x 10^-12 erg cm^-2 s^-1.
