Suicide car bombings kill 14 in Iraq
Two suicide car bombers blew themselves up today in separate attacks north of Baghdad, killing at least 14 and wounding about 18 others, police and hospital officials said.
The first suicide bomber, accompanied by another five cars loaded with heavily-armed insurgents, slammed into a wall outside the home of police Lt. Muthana al-Shaker – a member of a special forces unit – in Samarra, 60 miles north of Baghdad, said Lt. Qassim Mohammed of the Samarra police.
