Earlier on Wednesday, insurgents waged a well-planned attack on an Iraqi police base in Madain, some 30 km south of Baghdad with mortars and gunfire, killing a commander of an Iraqi public order battalion and three policemen, a ministry source said.
"Insurgents pounded a base of the al-Salam public order battalion in Madain area at about 4:00 a.m. (0100 GMT) followed by a machinegun and rocket-propelled grenades attack," the source told Xinhua on condition of anonymity.
Iraqi security forces in Madain involved in fierce clashes with the insurgents and surrounded the area, detaining some 50 militants, including a Syrian national, he said.
