More than 50 killed in attacks on Iraqi police
Iraqi police suffered two mortal blows today when a car bomb blew up recruits in the centre of Baghdad, killing at least 47, injuring 114, and an ambush north of the capital left 11 officers and their driver dead.
In the first attack, a bomb in a Toyota car ripped through shops and cafes near a police station as dozens of Iraqis were applying to join the force.
