Suicide bomber kills 28 in Iraq

Suicide bombers struck Iraq today, killing at least 28 and wounding dozens more in three attacks on an army recruiting centre, a police convoy and civilians, authorities said.

The attacks pushed the death count to over 1,500 people killed in violence since April 28, when Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari announced his Shiite and Kurd-dominated government in a country under attack from an insurgency led by Iraq’s Sunni Arab minority.
