Bomb Explodes Outside Iraqi Police Station
BAGHDAD, Iraq - A car bomb exploded Tuesday as police exchanged fire with two attackers outside a police station south of Baghdad, wounding at least a dozen people.

In Tuesday's attack, the men drove up to the police station in Iskandariyah and started firing machine guns at police, who fired back, hitting one of the assailants before the car blew up, police Lt. Col. Khalil Abdul-Ridha said.

Eleven police and a female bystander were wounded, he said. A series of mortar rounds then hit the police station, but nobody was harmed, he said.

A curfew was imposed Tuesday on the northern city of Beiji, where the nation's largest oil refinery is located. Officials at a local military center said they were trying to prevent more violence after seven people were killed in the city last week.
