Suicide Truck Bomb Kills 17 in Northern Iraq


Iraqi police say a truck bomb exploded in a Kurdish village in the north of the country early Thursday, killing at least 17 people and wounding more than 13 others.

The Reuters news agency quotes local authorities as saying women and children are among the dead and that many houses were destroyed in the village near the city of Mosul.

On Wednesday, a car bomb exploded outside a house in the northern city of Kirkuk, killing eight people and flattening at least one building.

Police said it appeared the car was being rigged for a bomb attack and exploded prematurely in the yard of the house.

Also in the north Wednesday, gunmen killed a civilian in Mosul.

In southeastern Baghdad, Iraqi forces backed by U.S. troops killed two men during a raid early Wednesday. The military says Iraqi and American soldiers returned fire on the men after coming under fire themselves.
