One Iraqi officer was killed and five others wounded in a car bomb explosion in the town of Al-Nukhaib, on the border with Saudi Arabia, in the first attack of its kind in the area in two years, Iraqi security forces command officials said Thursday.

The attack occured in an area that is effectively controlled by several Iran-linked Iraqi militias, most notably the Iraqi Hezbollah Brigades, Al-Najaba, Khorasani and Imam Ali.

A minibus parked next to the road in the border town of Al-Nukhaib, in Anbar province west of the capital Baghdad, exploded Thursday, a senior Iraqi official told a correspondent for The New Arab's Arabic-language service.
