BAGHDAD, Dec 14 (Reuters) - Insurgents attacked buses carrying Iraqi police from the southern city of Basra to Baghdad on Tuesday and several police officers were killed, a senior police source said.

The source said the police were ambushed near the town of Salman Pak, about 30 km (20 miles) southeast of Baghdad, and a number were dead. "The street is littered with bodies," he said. "Fighting is still going on."

Iraq's Interior Ministry and the U.S. military had no immediate information on any attack.

The area around Salman Pak, site of a nuclear power plant and ammunition factories during Saddam Hussein's regime, has been a focal point of guerrilla activity over the past year.
