Gun and bomb attacks in Iraq on Sunday killed seven people, among them four police informants, a policeman and two anti-Qaeda militiamen, and wounded four others, security officials said.
“A group of suspected Al-Qaeda gunmen attacked a house in the centre of Baquba around 7:30 am (0430 GMT),” a major in the police in Baquba, 60 kilometres (37.5 miles) north of Baghdad, told AFP.
“The attackers killed three women and one man from one family inside the house,” the major said, adding that they were all police informants.
Unknown gunmen in a civilian car also attacked a checkpoint manned by police and anti-Qaeda Sahwa (Awakening) militia members in Abu Khamis, north of Baquba, killing one policeman and two Sahwa members, a police lieutenant colonel from Diyala province said.
Two Sahwa members were wounded in the attack, he said.
And two more Sahwa members were wounded by a roadside bomb near Samarra, 110 kilometres (70 miles) north of Baghdad, a lieutenant colonel in the Samarra police said.
