http://sify.com/news/fullstory.php?id=13692109Iraq: Three Iraqi policemen were gunned down in Mosul and a foreign truck driver killed near Baiji on Saturday as three Afghans allegedly on their way to fight in the northern city were arrested in Baghdad.
The policemen, including an officer, were gunned down by assailants aboard a vehicle in the Al-Sukar neighbourhood on Mosul's northern side, said Mohammed Fathi, a local police commander.
He said the attack happened at about 1:00 pm (1000 GMT), and a medic at a city hospital said the men were hit in the head and abdomen.
The attacks come two days after a suicide bomber blew himself up at a Shiite funeral in the city killing 47 and wounding 81.
Three Afghans were arrested in southern Baghdad, said a source at the interior ministry.
