Suicide car bomb kills 5, wounds 50 MOSUL, Iraq, Sunday (Reuters) A suicide car bomb exploded outside a police station in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul on Sunday, killing at least five people and wounding more than 50, police and doctors said. Witnesses said a Toyota Landcruiser raced towards a checkpoint as guards shouted at the driver to stop. When he did not, they opened fire, killing the driver, but the car ploughed on and exploded 20 metres (60 feet) from the station. Those killed were police officers, a police lieutenant at the scene said, and the wounded were a mix of police and civilians. Doctors said they expected the death toll to rise and said many of the 50 wounded were badly hurt. |
