Sunday, February 13, 2011

SAMARRA: The death toll from an attack in which a suicide bomber detonated explosives inside a bus filled with pilgrims near the Iraqi city of Samarra has risen to 33, medics said on Sunday.

"Our last toll from Saturday's attack is 33 dead and 28 wounded. There are two women among the dead and another two among the wounded," said a medic at Samarra's General Hospital. An earlier toll from the hospital was 30 dead.

Police said the attacker had stormed into a bus filled with pilgrims at a checkpoint outside Samarra before detonating an explosives-filled vest. It was the deadliest single attack in Iraq since a January 27 car bomb ripped through a funeral ceremony in a district of Baghdad, killing 48 people.(AFP)
