    Ambulance bomber hits Iraq police

    19 January 2011 Last updated at 04:04 ET A suicide bomber has used an ambulance to attack a police compound in central Iraq, killing at least 12 people, reports say.

    Many more were wounded in the attack in Baquba - the second targeting Iraq's security forces in two days.

    On Tuesday, a suicide bomber killed some 60 people at a police recruitment centre in Tikrit, the hometown of former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein.

    Violence in Iraq has ebbed in recent years, but deadly attacks persist.

    Most of those killed in Wednesday morning's attack were police, officials said.

    A gunman stepped out of the ambulance, opened fire on guards at the entrance of the city's special security police centre, and then drove the vehicle into the compound before detonating his explosives, reports said.

    More than 60 injuries were reported, and more people are said to be buried under rubble after the explosion caused a building to collapse.
