SAMARRA, Iraq, June 27 (Reuters) - A roadside bomb
killed seven people including five police commandos in
central Samarra on Wednesday, Iraqi police said, and two
more civilians were killed in the aftermath of the blast
when security forces opened fire.

Police Captain Ali Mohammed Ali said the attack targeted
the police patrol. He said two policemen had been wounded
in the blast and two civilians had been hurt by the
subsequent police shooting.

The blast in Samarra, 100 km (62 miles) north of Baghdad,
comes despite heightened security in that city after
suspected al Qaeda militants blew up the twin minarets of
a Shi'ite mosque there earlier this month.
