Suicide bombers and gunmen Thursday attacked a bus transferring convicts from a prison north of Baghdad in a huge onslaught that sparked clashes with security forces and left at least 60 dead, police said.

The dead include 51 prisoners and nine policemen, an Iraqi official said.

The assault came a year almost to the day after an attack on two Iraqi prisons freed some 500 inmates.
