15 killed as insurgents step up Iraq campaign
Masked gunmen opened fire today on a police station near the northern Iraq city of Kirkuk, killing four, while twin car bombs exploded near government offices in the capital, killing at least 11 and wounding over a dozen.
The near-simultaneous explosions in a south eastern Baghdad neighbourhood targeted an Interior Ministry satellite office and at least a dozen people injured in the blast were taken to Yarmouk Teaching Hospital, doctors and witnesses said.
