 A suicide bomber walked into an Iraqi army recruiting center outside of Baghdad on Saturday and blew himself up amid a crowd of recruits, killing at least 15 people and wounding 22 others, police said. The attack underscored the danger facing Iraqi forces who are frequently targeted by Sunni insurgent groups that accuse them of collaborating with U.S.-led efforts to stabilize the country. The explosion hit about 10 a.m., when the bomber entered a recruitment center in Abu Ghraib, a town on the western outskirts of the capital, police said. Witnesses said guards spotted the bomber but were unable to stop him from detonating his explosives vest. Nobody claimed responsibility for the attack, which killed five soldiers and 10 recruits, police said. |
