Woman Bomber Kills 10 in Iraq - USA/Mercanaries
3/1/08
A woman suicide bomber wearing an explosive vest struck a checkpoint of neighborhood patrol volunteers in Baquba, capital of Iraq’s restive Diyala province, killing 10 people and wounding eight yesterday, police said. It was the latest in a wave of suicide bomb attacks that has appeared to intensify in recent days and weeks, even as overall levels of violence in Iraq have fallen. Two policemen and four patrol volunteers were among the dead, police said. Among those killed was Abdul-Rafaa Al-Nidawi, whom police described as the coordinator between US forces and the volunteer patrols in the city. The mainly Sunni Arab neighborhood patrols, paid by US forces to oppose Sunni Al-Qaeda militants, have frequently been targeted by suicide bombers in recent months.
