OFFICIALS say attacks in western Iraq and south of Baghdad have killed six people - four policemen and two Shi'ite pilgrims.

Police officials say gunmen in a speeding car opened fire at a police checkpoint in the western city of Fallujah on Saturday morning, killing four policemen.

And in the town of Latifiyah, 30km south of Baghdad, a mortar shell hit a group of Shi'ite pilgrims heading to the holy sites in the city of Karbala.

The pilgrims were commemorating Arbaeen, the end of 40 days of mourning following the anniversary of the death of Prophet Mohammed's grandson, Imam Hussein, a revered Shi'ite figure.

Medical officials confirmed the casualties. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to talk to media.
