BAGHDAD (UPI) -- A female suicide bomber killed nine people in a
market in northern Iraq, while roadside bombs killed three others,
officials said.
Police said the female suicide bomber detonated the explosive in the
al-Mafraq area west of Baquba in Diyala province northeast of Baghdad,
the BBC reported. A dozen people were injured in the blast.
Elsewhere in Baquba, police said they believe a blast that killed one
and injured 15 was the work of al-Qaida in Iraq militants who planted
explosives in a plastic bag outside a store, CNN reported.
In southern Baquba, Iraqi police said two female workers walking to
their jobs were killed when a bomb detonated at the side of a
thoroughfare used by Iraqi and U.S. troops.
