Suicide bomber kills 40 people in northern Iraq
(Xinhua) -- A suicide bomber blew himself up inside a bus traveling west of Mosul in northern Iraq's Nineveh province on Tuesday, killing 40 people and wounding five others, a provincial police source said. "A suicide bomber wearing an explosive vest blew himself up in the afternoon inside a bus carrying passengers traveling on the main road near the Tamarat village, some 60 km west of Mosul," the source told Xinhua on condition of anonymity. The bus, which was totally destroyed by the blast, has moved earlier from the city of Mosul and was heading to the neighboring Syria in the west when the incident took place, the source said.Posted by: Fred 2008-02-27 |
