Four policemen were killed and seven others -- including five civilians -- were wounded on Friday morning (April 20th) in two separate attacks that targeted local police forces in Fallujah and Ramadi.

Anbar police spokesperson Col. Hamid Zebn told Al-Shorfa that two improvised explosive devices (IEDs) exploded in Fallujah and Ramadi, causing massive material damage to nearby stores.

He said police received a video recorded by a mobile phone showing a gunman planting one of the IEDs, and that security forces identified him and are currently pursuing him.
