Six policemen were killed and one wounded when gunmen ambushed them in a Baghdad western neighborhood today, a well-informed police source told Xinhua.
Unknown armed men opened fire at a group of policemen outside the police station of Khadraa neighborhood, killing six of them and wounding another, the source said on condition of anonymity.
The policemen were leaving the police station for vacation when the gunmen ambushed them, the source said.
Insurgents frequently attack Iraqi police and army forces, accusing them of collaborating with US occupation forces.
