Attacks north of Baghdad, including a car bomb set off by a suicide attacker, killed six people on Friday, just days after Iraq's parliamentary election.

The bloodshed comes with officials counting votes from Wednesday's polls.

In Friday's deadliest attack, a suicide bomber set off a vehicle rigged with explosives on a highway connecting Baghdad to the town of Dujail, in Salaheddin province, killing four soldiers and wounding two others, officials said.

Elsewhere on Friday, gunmen killed two members of the Yazidi sect in the town of Rabiyah, near Iraq's border with Syria in northern Nineveh province, according to security and medical sources.
