BAGHDAD (AFP) - A spate of shootings and bombings targeting Iraqi security forces north of Baghdad on Monday killed at least 10 people, while a prisoner on death row escaped from police custody south of the capital. The attacks, which killed five policemen and three anti-Qaeda militiamen and left more than 20 people wounded, came after Iraqi police were targeted on Sunday night. Monday’s heaviest toll came in the town of Tuz Khurmatu, 175 kilometres (110 miles) north of Baghdad. Gunmen attacked a checkpoint in the town centre, killing two policemen and wounding two more before fleeing the scene, a security official said. A doctor confirmed the toll.
