BAGHDAD (RPRN) 09/10/09 — Iraqi police say a suicide truck bomber has killed at least 20 people and wounded 27 in a Kurdish village in northern Iraq.
The blast took place early Thursday in Wardak village near the city of Mosul. Police say a second suicide attack was thwarted, when Iraqi security forces opened fire on the bomber before he could trigger the explosives on his truck. Some information for this report was provided by AFP and Reuters.
In a separate incident, police say four people were killed and 29 wounded in a bomb attack in Mahmudiya, south of Baghdad.
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.
