A group of Iraqi Shiite pilgrims was the target of a suicide attack that killed at least 28 dead and over 20 wounded near Samarra, Sunni city north of Baghdad. The attack occurred when the bus they were traveling pilgrims stopped at a checkpoint outside Samarra. An attacker boarded the bus and detonated the explosives-filled vest he was wearing.
"At least 28 people including the bomber, women and children, were killed while 20 others were injured," police said to account for the fact. It was the second suicide attack on Shiites in Samarra this week after last Thursday that eight people were killed and 30 others were injured when a car bomb exploded near a group of pilgrims.
KANDAHAR .- Taliban suicide bombers killed 19 people, including 17 members of the Afghan security forces in an assault on police headquarters in Kandahar, the center of an offensive Treaty Organization (North Atlantic NATO) against the insurgents. The insurgents used guns, bombs and a car loaded with explosives.
NATO forces reported 49 people wounded, including 23 civilians and nine children. The attack lasted for several hours while gunmen opened fire from the windows of a wedding hall next door and three more were sacrificed. Reuters
