A suicide car bomb which struck a police headquarters in northern Iraq on Sunday, killed a policeman and wounded six people, a provincial police source said.
The attack took place in the evening in the town of Tel-Keif, some 20 km north of the capital city Mosul of northern Nineveh province, the source told Xinhua on condition of anonymity.
The suicide bomber failed to approach the building of the headquarters and blew up his explosive-laden car at the outer entrance, the source said.
Among the injured are two policemen and four civilians, he added.
In separate incident, unknown gunmen stormed the office of an Iraqi attorney Adel Hassan al-Waggaa in the northeast of Mosul and shot him dead, the source said.
The incidents occurred as the U.S. troops and Iraqi security forces are staging a security crackdown against insurgent groups in Nineveh province which said to be one of the last strongholds of al-Qaida fighters in the war-torn country.
