Car bomb hits Iraq wedding convoy

At least five people have been killed and 10 injured by a car bomb targeting an Iraqi police officer's wedding in the city of Falluja, local police say.

The victims were said to be guests driving in convoy behind the bride and groom, an Iraqi wedding tradition.

Lieutenant Naim Jumaili and his bride survived the attack, but several guests are reported to be missing.

Falluja, in Iraq's western Anbar province, is a hotbed of insurgents opposed to the Iraqi security forces.

Meanwhile, the US military in Iraq has said that 10 suspected insurgents have been killed since Monday during fighting in Diyala province. Five people were also detained in raids.

In other developments police in Baghdad say they have found the bodies of at least 10 people dumped in different parts of the city.
