On September 25, one policeman was killed in Tarmiyah, north of Baghdad, while farther north, gunmen attacked a patrol near Baquba, killing one policeman.
Another police officer was shot dead near the northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk.
Gunmen attacked a checkpoint in Mosul in north Iraq, killing a soldier, while one of the assailants was also killed.
