A series of attacks in Iraq including an assault by militants on a police station killed seven people and wounded dozens more on Thursday, officials and doctors said.

Militants opened fire on a police station in Khaldiya in Anbar province, after which one suicide bomber detonated an explosives vest in the station, and another blew up an explosives-rigged car, killing two police and wounding six.
  
One of the attackers was shot dead during the assault.
  
In another attack, gunmen killed a man in the Sharqat area, northwest of Baghdad, while another man was shot dead south of the northern city of Mosul.

In Mosul itself, gunmen killed a soldier in front of his home, and a roadside bomb killed a policeman and wounded another.
  
In the northern town of Tuz Khurmatu, a car bomb wounded 32 people, while two other car bombs northwest of the city of Kirkuk wounded 14.
  
Attacks also occurred Wednesday night, officials said. A suicide bomber detonated an explosives-rigged vehicle near a convoy on a highway in Anbar province in west Iraq, killing two police and wounding two. And gunmen armed with silenced weapons shot dead three women, believed to be prostitutes, at a house in the Zayouna area of Baghdad, a police colonel and an interior ministry official said.
