Suicide bomber kills 16 Iraqi soldiers
2009-04-16
A suicide bomber dressed in an army uniform detonated an explosives belt Thursday among Iraqi soldiers lined up for lunch at a base west of Baghdad, killing at least 16 and wounding 50, Iraqi officials said.

The attack took place at the joint base shared by Iraqi soldiers and U.S. troops in the former Sunni insurgent stronghold of Habbaniyah, about 45 miles (70 kilometers) west of Baghdad, two Iraqi officers said.

An Iraqi colonel, who spoke to The Associated Press over the phone from the base, said the bomber wore an Iraqi army uniform.
