Bombs kill nine and wound 54 in northern Iraq
A car bomb and a suicide bomber killed at least nine people
and wounded 54 in northern Iraq on Saturday. The bombings took place in the
town of Tuz Khurmato, north of the capital Baghdad. The first bomb detonated in
a car in a busy market near a Shi'ite mosque after prayers and was quickly
followed by a suicide bomber wearing an explosive vest. Since U.S. troops
withdrew at the end of 2011, attackers have been increasingly targeting
markets, cafes and sports events, rather than just army checkpoints and police
patrols. The victims have mainly been civilians in Shi'ite areas.
