Surging ahead: Suicide Bomber Kills 32 North of Baghdad
Edited on Mon Oct-29-07 09:07 AM by spanone
~snip~BAGHDAD, Oct. 29 -- A suicide bomber riding a bicycle killed 32 people and wounded 18 when he exploded Monday amidst a group of Iraqi police recruits, officials said.

The attack took place in volatile Diyala province, just north of Baghdad, during a morning roll call around 8:15 in the training yard of a police battalion, said Col. Ali Ismael Fattah, the unit's commanding officer.

Among the wounded were a woman and child near the site of the explosion. Fattah said the casualty reports were preliminary and the death toll might rise. Most of the dead were police recruits, who were undergoing training and scheduled to finish their course soon, Fattah said.

1. But the "liberal" media says the surge is working

:sarcasm:
Have you noticed that there is absolutely a news blackout on Iraq?

Huum
