Suicide car bombing kills 34 in Iraq
BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- At least 34 people have died in the suicide car
bombing that rocked a restive Iraqi provincial capital on Tuesday, a
medical source told CNN.
Women and children are among the dead in the bombing, which happened
outside a crowded restaurant near the courthouse and other government
offices in Baquba, the medical source and a resident told CNN.
The incident occurred in the capital of Diyala province, where Iraqi and
U.S. troops have been fighting Sunni and Shiite militants. Baquba is
north of Baghdad, and the province stretches north and east of the
capital, bordering Iran.
Col. Ragheb al-Omeiri, Diyala military operations command spokesman, said
the suicide car bombing also wounded dozens of people.
Meanwhile, the U.S. military said six "enemy fighters" were killed in
fighting near Baghdad's Sadr City early Tuesday.
It is the latest violence in and near the neighborhood, where Iraq
security forces backed by U.S. troops have been fighting Shiite militias.
A U.S. military spokesman confirmed six troops took small arms fire
during an operation in Sudayra outside Sadr City early Tuesday and killed
three "enemy fighters" in self-defense.
Troops continued to endure attacks, called in air support, and three more
fighters were killed. There were no civilian casualties, the military
said.
An Interior Ministry official said six "Iraqis" were killed and 26 were
wounded in overnight airstrikes.

There was other violence on Tuesday in Baghdad: A roadside bomb targeting
a police patrol killed two street sweepers in central Baghdad's Watheq
Square, the official said. The blast, which happened at 7:30 a.m., also
wounded two street sweepers and two police officers, the official said.
Another roadside bomb, which exploded in southwestern Baghdad's Bayaa
neighborhood, wounded a woman and child Tuesday morning, the official
said
