Baghdad: Police say a truck bomb has killed seven people in Iraq.

Police Col. Mohammed Khalid says the truck was detonated by remote control on Sunday when police and security guards went to check the vehicle.

The truck had been parked along the side of a road in Duluiyah, about 45 miles north of Baghdad.

Six of the dead were policemen and the seventh was a member of the local awakening council — volunteers who have turned against the insurgents.
