The human bomb detonated in the al-Shaheed Nawfal police checkpoint and killed all the seven policemen there, said the source.

The same checkpoint was the target of another suicide attack Sunday night when a suicide bomber drove his explosives-laden car into the checkpoint and blew it up, wounding three policemen, the source added.

Residents of Anbar province, where the city of Ramadi located, often blame Al Qaeda for deadly attacks after rifts between Sunni tribes and Al Qaeda militants emerged.
