3/7/2005 9:01
About 20 Iraqis were killed and dozens others wounded yesterday when a
suicide bomber struck a recruitment center for police commandos in western
Baghdad, police said.
"A suicide bomber wearing an explosive vest blew
himself up among a crowd of would-be police commandos queuing outside a
recruitment center near Nussur Square in western Baghdad," Col. Adnan
Abdul-Rahman, an Interior Ministry spokesman told Xinhua.
The attack took
place at about 9: 00 a.m. (0500 GMT), killing some 20 recruits and wounding
dozens of people, Rahman said.
Insurgents often use suicide bomb attacks
targeting Iraqi security forces in an attempt to cripple the new Iraqi
government formed two months ago.
