BAGHDAD  — Militants attacked a police station in an Iraqi village north of Baghdad, killing at least nine people Sunday, officials said.

He said an assault by armed militants followed. He said the attack killed five police officers and four civilians, while wounding 11 people. Tarmiyah is about 50 kilometers (30 miles) north of Baghdad. No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack. — AP
