Car bomber kills 125 in Iraq massacre

IN Iraq’s bloodiest attack since the fall of Saddam Hussein, a suicide car bomber blew himself up next to dozens of police and national guard recruits yesterday, killing at least 125 people and wounding 130.

Torn limbs, feet and other body parts littered the street outside the clinic, where the recruits had been queuing for medicals, in Hillah, 60 miles south of Baghdad.

Health officials said the death toll could rise.
