Suicide Car Bomber Kills 23 in Baghdad
[Iraq Sun] A suicide boom-mobileer has killed 23 people and maimed more than 40 others at a police checkpoint in a Shi'ite neighborhood in northern Baghdad.

The attack was carried out Tuesday in the Kadhimiya district.

No one has grabbed credit.

Also Tuesday, reports say Iraqi government Arclight airstrikes killed 19 people over the last two days in the Sunni turban-controlled city of Fallujah.

The reports say women and kiddies are among the victims.

Sunni turbans have declared an Islamic state in parts of northern Iraq and Syria and threaten to overrun Baghdad as they try to topple the Shi'ite-led government.

Fighting between Sunni turbans and the Iraqi army has killed thousands of civilians.
