A suicide bomber detonated an explosive belt in a Baghdad bus as it was about to depart for a Shiite city in the south today, killing at least 12 people and wounding 27.
Witnesses told police that the attacker left a car and climbed onto the bus and blew himself up as the bus was about to leave for Nasiriyah, 200 miles south-east of Baghdad, said police Lt. Ali Mitaab.
