BAQUBA, Iraq (Reuters) - Guerrillas killed 10 members of the Iraqi security forces in separate attacks north of Baghdad on Monday, officials said.
In an early morning attack in Buhriz, about 60 km (37 miles) from Baghdad, guerrillas opened fire on a checkpoint, killing five Iraqi policemen and wounding three others, police said.
They said six guerrillas were killed when police officers returned fire.
In the village of Dhabab, some 100 km (62 miles) from Baghdad, five soldiers were killed by gunmen while leaving for work or during their morning routine, the army said.
Violence in Iraq has surged in the past few days after a lull in attacks earlier this month during parliamentary elections, partly due to an informal truce by some Sunni Arab insurgent groups and strict security measures at the time.
On Friday, guerrillas stormed an army post, killing 10 soldiers and wounding 20.
