BAGHDAD, IRAQ - ROADSIDE bomb attacks in Iraq on Sunday killed at least five people, including three policemen in the former Sunni rebel bastion of Fallujah, police said.

The policemen were killed when two bombs exploded outside the home of a local police captain in Fallujah, a police officer said.

Four people were also wounded in the near simultaneous explosions in the city in western Iraq's Anbar province where violence has fallen drastically since late 2006.

A man and his son were killed in a similar attack east of the central city of Baquba when a bomb struck their car, a local police officer said.

Baquba and its surrounding province of Diyala continues to remain violent despite sustained military assaults by US and Iraqi forces. -- AFP
