DescriptionBAGHDAD (Reuters) - Bombs killed at least 14 people and wounded dozens in northern and western Iraq on Wednesday, but the Iraqi military said overall attacks across the country were down 85 percent from a year ago.

Two blasts in quick succession in Falluja, in Iraq's western Anbar province, killed six people and wounded 18, police said.

One hit a police unit guarding a bank, they said. The second went off minutes later when a police convoy came to evacuate casualties. Four policemen were among the dead.

Hours later, a suicide car bomber killed eight civilians and wounded 26 people in the northern city of Mosul, capital of Nineveh province, police said.
