A suicide car bomb struck police headquarters of the northern city of Mosul on Monday, killing seven people and wounding 25 others, a local police source said.
The incident took place when a suicide bomber blew up his explosive-laden car into the headquarters in the Dawassah neighborhood in the central city in the evening, the source told Xinhua on condition of anonymity.
The powerful blast killed three policemen and four civilians and wounded 25 people, including policemen, and damaged parts of the headquarters building, the source said.
The attack came as the U.S. and Iraqi security forces are conducting a major offensive against al-Qaida militants in Nineveh province and its capital city of Mosul, some 400 km north of Baghdad.
