Two simultaneous roadside bombings on Sunday killed five policemen and wounded five more in Iraq's restive province of Diyala, local police and medics told AFP.
The bombs in the town of Jalawla, 100 kilometres (62 miles) east of provincial capital Baquba exploded as a police patrol was passing, police Major Mohammed al-Karkhi said.
He said five officers were killed and five were wounded.
Sardar Ibrahim, a doctor at Jalawla hospital, confirmed the victims had been brought in.
On August 26, a suicide bomber blew himself up in a crowd of police recruits in Jalawla, killing 25 young people and wounding dozens more.
Insurgents have launched regular attacks in Diyala, one of the country's most dangerous provinces, despite a massive military crackdown since May targeting Al-Qaeda militants.
