Iraq suicide car bomb kills 10 police

SAMARRA: A car bomb detonated by a suicide attacker in the central Iraqi city of Samarra killed 10 policemen and wounded 16 others on Monday morning, police said.

The bomber rammed his explosives-packed vehicle into a compound for an emergency response unit which had been moved to the city to help with security for mourning rituals earlier this month, a police officer said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

Monday's attack comes after a suicide bomber detonated explosives inside a bus filled with pilgrims near Samarra on February 12, killing 33 and wounding 28.(AFP)
