Civilians and members of a U.S.-backed Sunni Arab patrol group were also
killed in the attack close to the city of Baquba in Diyala province, 65 km
(40 miles) northeast of Baghdad, police said.

Gunmen attacked a checkpoint in a village close to Baquba, killing one policeman.
The gunmen then ambushed reinforcements, killing a further 11 policemen, local
Sunni Arab patrol group members and civilians, police said.
