Two policemen were killed and seven other people were wounded in the two explosions. Iraqi police shot and captured
the third bomber.
Iraqi police say the attack -- claimed by Iraq's Al-Qaeda -- involved a car bomber followed by two bombers on foot.
Earlier, Iraq's Al-Qaeda denied responsibility for a suicide bombing that killed 27 people, mostly children, yesterday.
Also today, the U.S. military said that it has captured a man suspected of being a senior Al-Qaeda operative involved in
the recent abduction and slaying of Egypt's top diplomat in Iraq.
