Truck bomb kills 11 in Iraq

A suicide bombing in the northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk today killed up to 11 people and wounded 90.

The attacker drove a truck packed with explosives into the main gate of police building, triggering the blast.

Seven houses were destroyed, and police said the death toll was expected to rise.

Insurgents have increasingly used truck bombs in attacks in recent months.

A truck bomb in the northern town of Tal Afar last Tuesday killed 152 people, making it the deadliest single insurgent attack of the four-year-old war.
