At least eight people including a policeman died and 21 others were hurt on Tuesday in three separate attacks targeting Iraqi security forces in Baghdad and Mosul, police said.


In the northern city of Mosul four people were killed and four others injured when a suicide bomber tried to ram his explosives-laden car into a security checkpoint, a local police officer told AFP. In Baghdad, two roadside bombs targeting police patrols killed four people and wounded 17, including women and children, during morning rush-hour.
