Violence in Iraq has dropped since the height of the insurgency five years ago, but almost daily attacks continue. Police said there were at least 14 bombs of one sort or another, with five of them apparently aimed at a police station in southern Baghdad while others had no apparent target, the BBC has reported The attack in Taji took place while policemen were investigating an earlier car bombing.
