WASHINGTON, Jan. 17, 2006 – A suicide car bomber killed four Iraqi police officers and one child and wounded 16 civilians and two Iraqi police officers yesterday at an Iraqi police checkpoint near Muqdadiyah, Iraq, officials reported.

Officials said the attack was initiated by a flurry of small-arms fire followed by the devastating blast. Coalition forces from a nearby base responded to the attack and assisted with the post-blast investigation.

Officials emphasized that reporting terrorist activity is the best way for local residents to help end violence in their neighborhoods and protect their families and homes.

Cash rewards are available for anyone who provides information leading to the apprehension of terrorists who commit crimes against Iraq, U.S. officials said.

honestly who is gonna turn in information. if u know anything about the terrorist actions,dont u think that they would be part of it, or altleast be suspected of such actions. i think the reward for turning in information like that woulds be prison. atleast thats what i expect about the money ploy.
