KIRK, Iraq - Six policemen and a civilian were wounded in a bomb attack in a town north of Baghdad on Saturday as the nation was voting in provincial elections, police said.
The attack took place in the main street of Tuz Khurmatu, where on Wednesday two police guarding a school being used as a polling station were gunned down.
The town of 160,000 is majority Shia Turkmen but also includes Kurds and Sunni Turkmen.
