BAGHDAD (CNN) -- The death toll in the suicide bombings Tuesday in northern
Iraq has risen to at least 500, local officials in Nineveh province said
Wednesday.
Iraqi Army and Mosul police sources put the number at 260, but have said it
was likely to rise.
Suicide bombers targeted members of the Yazidi religious minority in the
Tuesday night attacks, at least four vehicle bombs in three Yazidi areas
about 100 km (62 miles) west of the city of Mosul.
Nineveh officials said the deadliest explosion destroyed dozens of houses
and other buildings in Uzair village in the town of Baaj, where most of the
homes were made of clay. The crater from that blast, officials said, was 7
meters (23 feet) deep and 300 meters (984 feet) across.
