Two other police officers said a suicide bomber rammed an explosives-laden car into an army checkpoint in Baghdad’s western suburb of Abu Ghraib few hours later, killing two soldiers and wounding nine people, of which four were civilians.
Two health officials confirmed the causality figures. All officials spoke anonymously, as they were not authorized to release information.
Police and military personnel are favourite targets of militants seeking to undermine the Iraqi government’s efforts to maintain security.
