BAGHDAD, April 22 (UPI) -- The U.S. military said two U.S. Marines were killed Tuesday in a suicide bombing at a police checkpoint near Ramadi in central Iraq.

The bomb, which was concealed in a truck, also injured two dozen people, including three children and four Iraqi police officers, officials told CNN.

In Jalawla, a Kurdish village near Baquba, a woman detonated a bomb outside a police station, killing six people, most of them officers, the military said. Twelve people were wounded.

The evening before, a female bomber killed three people in Baquba.

A car bomb parked outside a Baghdad restaurant detonated as an Iraqi army patrol passed by. One soldier and a civilian died while eight people were wounded.

CNN said U.S. and Iraqi forces killed five suspects, identified by Iraqi authorities as "criminals," in a shootout Monday night in eastern Baghdad.
