Pictures of the week

Highlights from the weekly AP photo report, a gallery featuring a mix of front-page photography, the odd image you might have missed and lasting moments our editors think you should see.

This week's gallery features images of a man looking for victims at the site of car bomb in Baghdad, a police officer stopping a driver in downtown Dallas after police officers were shot and killed during a protest, and a cow jumping over revelers during a festival after the second running of the bulls at the San Fermin Festival in Pamplona.

This gallery contains photos published July 1-8, 2016.
