Baghdad: Suicide bomb attack on polic station, 9 killed

US security forces deployed three dozen US armored personnel carriers and set up barbed wire around the police station and the charred wreckage of the Oldsmobile used in the suicide attack.
The blast occurred as police were heading to collect their monthly pay-checks at the station, located near a crowded market in the populous neighborhood previously called Saddam City.
The wounded were taken to the nearby al-Kindi hospital where only relatives of the victims were allowed entry.
