| A suicide bomber blew up his booby-trapped car early Monday outside an Iraqi army battalion headquarters in the country's east, killing 10 soldiers and wounding 29 people in a bombing that brought down the building. "The New York Times" speaks about this.
An army commander in Diyala described a horrific scene of the building collapsing on soldiers inside. He said the bomber drove his car up through a back gate and through a yard to get to the headquarters.
The commander spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to brief the media. He said dozens of soldiers were killed or wounded.
Al-Azawi said 10 soldiers were killed. He said at least 29 people also were wounded, including 14 soldiers.
A senior Iraqi intelligence official in Baghdad blamed the attack on al-Qaida and said authorities believe the same insurgents may also be plotting a similar strike against security forces in the capital. The intelligence official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to brief the media.
