Many

die in Iraq suicide bombings

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At

least 13 people have been reported killed in two separate suicide bomb

attacks in the predominantly Shia town of Hilla, south of Baghdad.

One bomber blew himself up in front of a medical centre where

new army and civil service recruits were due to undergo a check-up, Reuters

reports.

A second man detonated his bomb among a crowd of policemen

protesting against a decision to disband their unit.

At least 35 were wounded in the attacks at about 0900 (0500

GMT), police said.

Separately, a top Sunni politician has reportedly been arrested

by US forces.

The Iraqi Islamic party - one of Iraq's main Sunni

parties - says its leader, Mohsen Abdel Hamid, was arrested at dawn at his

house.

The party was among those which boycotted the elections in

January.

Crackdown

On Sunday night at least 16 people were killed in suicide

attacks in and around Baghdad in what appeared to

be a reaction to a major crackdown on insurgents.

The massive operation to secure Baghdad involves

dividing the city into sectors and setting up hundreds of checkpoints.

A statement published on the internet said the security plan was

futile and claimed the attacks on behalf of a group purportedly led by

Jordanian militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.
