TIKRIT, Iraq, June 29 (Reuters) - A suicide car bomber
killed seven policemen and wounded three in an attack on

north of Baghdad, was the latest in a series of attacks by
militants on Iraqi forces trying gradually to take over
responsibility for Iraq's security from the U.S. military.

Dhuluiya police chief Colonel Mohammed al-Jubouri said
