"Suicide Bomb Kills 28 in Northern Iraq" by HAMID AHMED/Associated Press
BAGHDAD (AP) - A suicide bomber slammed his truck into a densely populated residential area in the northern Iraqi city of Tal Afar on Monday, killing at least 28 people, including 19 children, local authorities said.
The attack occurred in a crowded Shiite neighborhood of the religiously mixed city, about 250 miles northwest of Baghdad. The powerful blast caused houses to collapse in the morning as many families were getting ready for the day, and officials said the death toll could rise.
"Rescue teams are still searching for casualties among the rubble,'' said Ali Abbo, the head of the human rights committee.
The attacker drove a dump truck filled with explosives and covered with a layer of gravel, Brig. Gen. Najim Abdullah said, adding that at least 19 children were among the 28 killed. At least 40 others were wounded, said Brig. Gen. Rahim al-Jibouri, commander of Tal Afar police.
Abbo said the hospital in Tal Afar had been filled to capacity, forcing the ambulances to take many victims to Dahuk, about 45 miles to the north.
Several residents said the area is heavily populated, with four families sharing the same house in some cases, and boys and girls were playing hopscotch and marbles outside the houses at the time of the explosion.
Sheik Mohammed Qassim, 52, said the explosion shifted the furniture in his house and smashed all his windows.
"We rushed outside to see a big cloud of dust and smoke and shrapnel covering the street,'' he said, adding that a 16-foot-wide hole was left in the street. He said he and his neighbors then began searching for survivors in the rubble with their own hands.
Within an hour of the attack, authorities had imposed a curfew on the city, he said.
Elsewhere, 60 bodies were found in a mainly Sunni area that had been under the control of al-Qaida in Iraq west of Baqouba, according to a Diyala provincial police official. U.S. and Iraqi forces recently have touted successes in an operation aimed at restoring control in the volatile region northeast of Baghdad.
[Yeah, Times said they were decomposed!]
At least 29 people were killed or found dead in other parts of Iraq, according to police."
Gee, Globe only reported 18, and skewed the coverage of:
"Violence yesterday, a mortar barrage in southeast Baghdad killed at least 13 people and injured 17, police said. Some of the shells landed at a gas station, where many of the victims were lined up, causing a fireball that engulfed at least 15 cars, police said. Police in Baghdad also recovered the bodies of 18 people shot execution-style.... Two women were among the victims."
