Six killed in Iraq truck blast

A suicide bomber driving a tanker truck detonated his explosives in a line of cars waiting to enter Fallujah, killing at least six people and wound dozens, police said today.

The blast happened Friday evening on the edge of the village of Amiriyat, just outside Fallujah, 40 miles west of Baghdad. Police said they didn’t know what the tanker truck was carrying but some of the wounded apparently had inhaled noxious fumes.
