BAGHDAD, April 15 -- Two bombings killed nearly 60 people Tuesday in parts of Iraq where U.S. and Iraqi forces have claimed significant success in combating Sunni insurgent groups.
A car bombing in central Baqubah, the capital of northeastern Diyala province, killed at least 47 people, an Iraqi military spokesman said. A suicide bomber in Ramadi, west of Baghdad in Anbar province, killed at least 10 people at a restaurant frequented by police, according to local officials. Bombs also exploded in Baghdad and the northern city of Mosul, but the U.S. military said those blasts did not cause fatalities.
The U.S. military said the bombings in Baqubah and Ramadi appeared to have been carried out by al-Qaeda in Iraq, a predominantly homegrown Sunni insurgent group that has often targeted policemen and other representatives of Iraq's Shiite-led government. |
