Police headquarters attacked in Baghdad

By DAVID RISING, Associated Press Writer 10 minutes ago

BAGHDAD, Iraq - An Iraqi police headquarters in Baghdad was hit by a suicide truck bomb Wednesday, killing at least seven people in a deadly 24-hour period that saw more than 45 killings throughout
Iraq, authorities said.


The military said an American soldier was killed by a roadside blast northeast of Baghdad on Tuesday.

The news came after the U.S. military announced the deaths of four other soldiers in Iraq. One was killed Tuesday by a suicide car bombing, which also wounded two other soldiers. Another two soldiers were killed Sunday — one by small arms fire and the other by a roadside bomb in Baghdad. A fourth soldier, assigned to a medical task force, died Monday of non-combat related injuries in the capital.

The truck bomb attack in the southern Baghdad neighborhood of Dora happened as policemen were coming on duty, said Capt. Jamil Hussein. At least 14 others were injured, and he said the number of casualties was expected to rise.
