SAMARRA, Iraq, Nov 10 (Reuters) - Insurgents killed a Turkish truck driver in northern Iraq on Wednesday and burned his vehicle, police said.

He was the fourth Turkish driver killed this week in raids near the transport hub of Baiji, 180 km (112 miles) north of Baghdad. It was not known what cargo his truck was carrying.

Rebels fighting the interim government and its U.S. backers frequently target military and civilian supply convoys bringing in oil products and other goods from neighbouring Turkey
