| Death toll in Baghdad bombings rises to 26 |
| 2007-07-09 |
| A flurry of bombings in Baghdad killed 26 people Sunday, and officials said the death toll from a giant suicide truck blast that devastated the market of a Shi'ite town north of the capital a day earlier could be more than 130. Officials had earlier said Saturday's bombing in the town of Armili killed 115 people, one of the deadliest attacks in Iraq in months. The blast suggested Sunni insurgents are moving further north to strike in less protected regions beyond the US security crackdown in Baghdad and on the capital's northern doorstep. |
