I have came across this depressing article and would like to share it with all of you.
Today in Baghdada, a suicide bomber dressed in police uniform killed four policemen near a local government headquarters in northeastern Iraq.
Lieutenant Colonel Hameed al-Shimari, who heads an emergency police unit in Baquba, 65 km (40 miles) northeast of Baghdad, said that seven civilians were also wounded in the attack in the restive city of Baquba.
The U.S. military said that eight U.S. soldiers were wounded in the bombing near the Baquba mayor's office but none were killed, as Iraqi police had reported.
The military put the death toll at three civilians killed and 19 people, including the U.S. soldiers, reconstruction officials and Iraqi police, wounded.
Suicide bombings have occurred frequently in Baquba, considered one of the few remaining havens in Iraq for Sunni Islamist al Qaeda fighters.
Nowadays, this sort of terrorists attacks have become more rampant. Therefore, in this dangerous times, it is wise to always be cautious and report any suspicious happenings to the police immediately.
