Baquba - Ten Iraqis, including two children, were killed and seven wounded early on Tuesday by a car bomb, north of Baghdad, said security and hospital sources.

An Iraqi army officer said: "Ten people were killed in all and seven wounded.

"The dead and wounded soldiers belonged to a unit called as reinforcements in the town of Kanaan after a mortar attack against a police station.

"The soldiers were hit by the explosion of a car bomb that was parked nearby."

A police officer added that two police and four civilians were also killed and four civilians wounded when the bomb exploded as a police patrol passed.

A hospital director in Baquba said his teams had treated four people for wounds after they were brought in from the nearby town.

Meanwhile, the United States military said two soldiers were killed on Monday by a roadside bomb near Ramadi, west of Baghdad.

The deaths brought to 1 693 the number of United States soldiers who have died in Iraq since the 2003 invasion.
