Twelve die in Iraq unrest, suicide bombing
TIKRIT, Iraq (AFP) - – A suicide bomber killed five people in northern Iraq on Tuesday as bombs in Baghdad and other deadly attacks raised the toll to 12 dead, including an Iraqi general, security officials told AFP.
The suicide attack in the refinery and power station town of Baiji, 200 kilometres (125 miles) from the capital, targeted a police patrol and also wounded 18 people, said police in the Salaheddin provincial capital of Tikrit.
In Baghdad, the general, whom police identified only by his first name Khodr, was blown up by a magnetic bomb in Aden Square in the Shiite shrine district of Kadhimiyah in the north of the city.
A second magnetic bomb killed one person and wounded two outside an army officers' club in Al-Hurriya in northwest Baghdad, police said. There was no immediate word on whether the casualties were soldiers or civilians.
And a roadside bomb killed one person and wounded four in a car in the capital's mainly Sunni Arab southern district of Dora, police said.
In the heart of Baghdad, meanwhile, police thwarted a bomb attack on a convoy transporting cash to and from the central bank, detonating it in a controlled explosion after clearing the area, the interior ministry said.
The bomb was planted in a rubbish skip in the Rasheed Street area and the explosion was heard across the city centre.
A bomb disposal team was called in after police spotted the device and it was blown up without any casualties, a ministry official said.
There have been a string of attacks by insurgents against economic targets in Iraq in recent weeks, including a suicide attack on the central bank in Baghdad, which killed 18 people, and two suicide car bombings outside the Baghdad branch of the Trade Bank of Iraq that left 26 people dead.
North of Baghdad, four members of a Sunni family, including a 10-year-old girl, were killed in the town of Khalis, in Diyala province, a security official said.
"Gunmen carrying rifles and pistols burst in and fired, killing the girl and three men aged between 25 and 35," said the official.
And west of Baghdad, troops killed a suicide bomber in Al-Anbar province foiling a multiple attack on Muslim worshippers gathering before dawn for prayers, the defence ministry said.
The Iraqi unit had lain in ambush for the bomber after receiving an intelligence tip-off about the planned attack on the Hay al-Akrad mosque in the town of Al-Khaldiya, east of the provincial capital Ramadi, the ministry said.
In another incident on the northern outskirts of the capital, saboteurs blew up a key oil pipeline in Rashidiyeh district, Baghdad operations command said.
The pipeline links an oil refinery and power station in Dora with Baiji, a key junction on the supply network from Iraq's northern oil fields around Kirkuk.
