A suicide car bomb attacked an Iraqi security checkpoint on highway near the city of Ramadi in the western province of Anbar on Monday, killing two security members and wounding three others, a provincial police source said.
"A suicide bomber drove his explosive-laden car into a checkpoint in the al-Jazira area near the city of Ramadi, and blew it up before midday," the source told Xinhua on condition of anonymity.
A joint security force from Iraqi police and anti-Qaida Sunni tribesmen were manning the checkpoint, the source said.
Previously, rifts emerged between Sunni tribes and extremists of al-Qaida in Iraq network after the residents of the volatile Anbar province blamed al-Qaida group for indiscriminate and mass killings against their community.
