Suicide bombs kill at least 32

SUICIDE bombers struck in quick succession yesterday in a former insurgent stronghold north-east of Baghdad, killing at least 32 people just days before a crucial election that will determine who will govern the country as American forces depart.

The blasts in Baqouba – including one by a bomber who rode in an ambulance to a hospital and blew himself up there – were the deadliest in more than a month.
