BAGHDAD - Two Iraqi police were killed in a suicide car bomb attack near the oil refinery town of Baiji early Wednesday morning, a police captain said.
The bomb targeted a US-Iraqi convoy around 3 am (2300 GMT) on the road near Siniya, 200 kilometres (125 miles) north of Baghdad, Ali Yousef, the police captain told AFP.
A surge in violence against mostly Iraqi police and army targets has killed close to 500 people since the start of May as the country's first democratically elected government in a thousand years struggles to quell a raging insurgency.
