BAGHDAD, Iraq - A suicide car bomber attacked a police station north of Baghdad Friday, wounding at least seven people when he detonated his explosives, he said.
The bomber hit about 7:15 a.m. in the city of Mosul, which is 225 miles northwest of Baghdad. Five civilians were among those wounded, police Brig. Abdul-Hamid al-Jibouri said.

Elsewhere, gunmen stormed the house of a Sunni family in Basra, 340 miles southeast of Baghdad, and killed seven people — a father, five of his sons and another relative, police said. A navy officer and his friend were killed by drive-by shooters while walking downtown in the largely Shiite city.
Late Thursday, insurgents ambused a convoy of Iraqi police enroute from Najaf to the U.S. base at Taji just north of the capital to pick up new vehicles, police said. Officials in Najaf said there were casualties but they had no figures.
