A coup for the US-backed police force, the arrests come amid a backlash against a heavy crackdown by occupation troops, with six people killed in car bombings on Thursday.
"We have arrested several suspects in connection with the attack and we are interrogating them," police chief and deputy interior minister Ahmad Kazem Ibrahim told reporters.
He said the masterminds of the attack "came from outside Iraq" and were "well informed", but declined to give more details.
Ibrahim criticised the United Nations for hiring security guards without consulting with Iraqi police.
