A suicide bomber wearing police uniform blew himself up in a hospital south of Baghdad on Tuesday, killing three people and wounding 13 others, police said.

The suicide attack occurred at a post of police guards in the hospital of the Iraqi town of Musayyab, some 60 km south of Baghdad, police said.

One of the dead and four of the wounded were policemen, they said.

Iraqi police and security forces have been frequently under attack by insurgents who have attempted to cripple the Shiite- dominated government since its formation late April.
