Over 100 Iraqis Die in Pair of Suicide Attacks

HeadlineFeb 11, 2004

In Iraq, over 100 Iraqis have died over the past day in a series of major suicide bombing attacks that targeted new Iraqi Army and police recruits. This morning at about 7 local time a large car bomb went off outside an army recruiting center in Baghdad. 47 people are believed to have been killed. This comes a day after 54 people died in a suicide bombing attack at a police station south of Baghdad. Also yesterday in Baghdad, four Iraqi police officers were killed in an ambush. The BBC reports this has been one of the bloodiest 24-hour periods since the fall of Baghdad.
