Suicide car bomb brings fresh carnage to Iraq

A SUICIDE car bomb exploded on a busy Iraqi street yesterday, killing at least 68 people - almost all civilians - in one of the deadliest single insurgent attacks since the US invasion.

The bomb shredded a bus full of passengers and nearby shops.

"These were all innocent Iraqis, there were no Americans," one angry man shouted as Iraqis tried to cover the dead with pieces of cardboard.
