Suicide Bomber Kills Four in Iraq Town
Tue October 28, 2003 06:20 AM ET
FALLUJA, Iraq (Reuters) - A suicide bomber blew up a car near a police station in the restive Iraqi town of Falluja on Tuesday killing himself and four civilians, police said.
Police officers said a small car driven by one man exploded 100 meters (yards) from the main police station in the town west of Baghdad, outside a secondary school for boys.
The latest attack came the day after suicide bombers attacked three police stations and the Red Cross headquarters in Baghdad, killing 35 people and wounding more than 200.
Witnesses in Falluja said U.S. troops sealed off the area around the blast.
"Four civilians were killed," said Major Assad Abdul Karim. A U.S. military spokeswoman in Baghdad said she had no immediate information on the incident.
Falluja lies 60 km (40 miles) west of the Iraqi capital in the so-called "Sunni Triangle" where deposed dictator Saddam Hussein has strong tribal ties and resistance to the U.S.-led occupation is strongest.
Iraqi guerrillas launch daily attacks on U.S. troops in the region. Iraqis working with the occupation forces, such as the U.S.-backed police, are also frequent targets of attacks.
