BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) — Suicide car bombers attacked Iraqi police Friday, killing at least one officer, an Interior Ministry official said.

Iraqi police and their supporters have been attacked several times within the last couple of hours.

At least five more police officers were wounded in two strikes in and around Falluja, a mainly Sunni Arab city in the western province of Anbar, according to the official.

It is not known who was behind the attacks.

Falluja had been a stronghold for insurgents in the early hours of the Iraqi war, but now is an center for the “awakening,” that opposes al Qaeda in Iraq.

Al Qaeda in Iraq has been attacking those supporters and members of the “awakening councils” and Sons of Iraq, the largely Sunni groups that back Iraqi and U.S. security.

In Friday’s attack, an suicide car bomb struck a checkpoint in Julan — six miles west of Falluja — that is usually manned by Iraqi police and U.S. troops, the Interior Ministry official said.

At least one officer was killed and another was wounded. The U.S. military said its troops had no involvement in the incident.

In Falluja, an suicide car bombing outside police headquarters wounded four police officers, the official said.

U.S. and Iraqi military operations have chased lots of al Qaeda in Iraq cells out of Anbar province, according to military accounts.

Those militants have now gained control in other areas, such as Nineveh province, and security forces have embarked on an offensive against them there, officials say.

A U.S. soldier was killed Thursday in a roadside bombing southwest of Baghdad, the U.S. military said Friday, bringing the number of U.S. military personnel killed in Iraq to 4,080.
