BAGHDAD, Rabi'II 2, 1437, Jan 12, 2016, SPA -- A suicide bomb attack critically wounded a senior Iraqi police officer and killed two of his guards on Tuesday near the eastern city of Baquba, Reuters cited police as saying. The blast came a day after bombers and suicide attackers killed at least 51 people, including 23 in two explosions in the nearby town of Muqdadiya. Brigadier Qasim al-Anbuki, the local head of police intelligence, was leading a force to check tips about a suspected car bomb parked on a highway linking Baghdad to eastern Diyala province, where Baquba is located. After reaching the site, a suicide car bomber detonated his vehicle near the officer's convoy, two police sources said. Three other officers were also wounded, they added. There was no immediate claim of responsibility. --SPA 12:05 LOCAL TIME 09:05 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
