Suicide truck bomber kills 18 near Baghdad college
 BAGHDAD - A suicide bomber driving a small truck rigged with explosives blew up near a Baghdad college on Tuesday, killing 18 people in an attack that came just a day after bomb blasts ripped apart two crowded city markets. Police said the bomber detonated in a parking lot between the College of Economic Sciences, a private university in western Baghdads residential Iskan district, and a large foodstuff warehouse belonging to the Trade Ministry.The blast in the mainly Shia area set cars ablaze and destroyed a nearby home. Police said some members of the family were among the dead, but a witness said only one girl died. The attack, which also wounded 40 people, followed devastating bombings at two markets on Monday that killed at least 77 people and maimed scores. Posted by: Steve White 2007-02-14 |
