Suicide bombing latest attempt to derail coalition peace efforts

By Athalie Matthews and Tim Moynihan THE suspected suicide bombing which ripped through UN headquarters in Baghdad, killing at least 20, is the latest incident to derail attempts to bring peace to post-Saddam Iraq.

The attack, apparently using a cement truck, comes 12 days after a car bomb at the Jordanian Embassy in the city which killed at least 11 people.

The assault on a major UN facility broadens the assault on international representatives in the country, adding to the campaign of guerrilla attacks which have hit US and British troops.
