| A suicide bomber dressed in police uniform killed four policemen at a checkpoint in northeastern Iraq, police said. Lieutenant Colonel Hameed al-Shimari, who heads an emergency police unit in Baquba, 65 km northeast of Baghdad, said seven civilians were also wounded in the attack, Reuters reported. A US military official said at least eight US soldiers were wounded in the attack, but none were killed, as police had reported. In another incident two girls under the age of 12 died, when a sticky bomb targeting an army officer exploded outside their home as he left for work, police said. The bomb was planted outside the door of Captain Saadun Mohammed Ali's home in the city of Fallujah west of Baghdad, police Colonel Daud Maraawi told AFP. Ali was already in his car when the explosive went off and escaped, but the blast killed his daughter and niece as they waved goodbye, Maraawi said. |

| #1 Put Captain Saadun Mohammed Ali in charge of interrogations. And give him plenty of private face time. |
