Bombs kill 7 south of Baghdad, 6 in Tikrit
A roadside bomb that missed a passing U.S. military convoy killed seven Iraqis and wounded one south of Baghdad Tuesday, police and hospital sources said, while a suicide car bomb at police headquarters in Tikrit killed six.
The victims in the roadside bomb explosion were traveling in a minibus in Yussifiyah, 10 miles south of Baghdad, when the blast occurred, said the director of the town's hospital, Dawoud al-Taie.
The killings were the latest in a series of attacks by insurgents who are trying to disrupt a landmark Jan. 30 national election. The last two days have seen a new surge of attacks, with four roadside bombings and suicide attacks on Iraqi and American forces on Monday. |
