Female suicide bombers kills scores at Baghdad police academy
 Two women strapped with explosives detonated themselves at Baghdad's police academy on Tuesday, killing 27 people and wounding 32 more, the U.S. military said. The women blew themselves up in a classroom filled with students, the statement from Task Force Baghdad said. No U.S. forces were killed or wounded in the attack, it added. U.S. forces rushed to the scene to provide assistance, the statement said. Iraqi police said one bomb exploded in a cafeteria, while the other detonated during roll call. Police Lt. Ali Mi'tab said the women were probably students at the academy, which is why they were not searched. Five other female police officers were among the dead, he added. |
