Reports say at least 10 policemen were killed and 16 others wounded when a bomber smashed an explosives-packed vehicle into a city police headquarters.

Samarra is located in Salaheddin province, about 100 kilometers north of the Iraqi capital, Baghdad.

Last week, another bomber exploded a device in a bus station in Samarra.

48 people were killed in that incident.

The bomb blast targeted pilgrims who had travelled by bus to observe a Shiite ceremony.
