Three killed in Iraqi police-station blast

At least three policemen were killed and four others wounded when a suicide bomber blew up his truck today outside a police station near Iraq’s border with Syria, an Iraqi army spokesman said.

The building in Rabia was completely destroyed in the 9am (local time) blast, said Capt. Mohammed Ahmed of the army’s Third Division.

Rabia is 50 miles west of Mosul and about three miles from Syria.
