At least seven people have been killed in a suicide attack in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul, police say.
Four policemen were among the dead and 17 others injured when a truck bomb exploded on Tuesday.
"The suicide bomber tried to enter from the rear [of the complex] but police opened fire and his vehicle crashed into the concrete protection barrier before blowing up," Ismail Ahmad, a local police commander, said.
Two hospital officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release the information, confirmed the toll.
On Sunday, a car-bomb attack in a marketplace in Al-Gayara, near Mosul, wounded 15 people.
British troops, meanwhile, started their pullout from Iraq on Tuesday with the lowering of a Royal Marines flag and handover of a Basra base to US control six years after their joint occupation.
