BAGHDAD, Oct 26 (Reuters) - Gunmen ambushed an Iraqi police convoy
in a town north of Baghdad on Thursday, killing eight policemen,
including the commander, police said.

At least 50 other policemen were reported missing shortly after the
attack near the volatile town of Baquba.

Earlier, gunmen attacked a station for an Iraqi special police force
in another town near Baquba, killing six police and wounding 10,
police said.

Baquba, 65 km (40 miles) north of Baghdad, is in an area with a mixed
population of Shi'ites and Sunni Arabs, and is a stronghold of Sunni
insurgents battling U.S. forces and the Shi'ite-led government.
