Baquba, Iraq (AFP) Jan 3, 2011 A suicide car bomb exploded Monday outside a police intelligence office in Baquba north of the Iraqi capital killing a man and wounding 15 other people, a security source and a doctor said. The bombing targeted the office about 11:00 am (0800 GMT), the security source said, adding that girls on a nearby school bus and guards of the office were among the wounded. Just before the suicide bomber blew up the car, insurgents threw several hand grenades into the intelligence office, the security source said. Dr Firas al-Dulaimi, who works at the main hospital in Baquba, said the hospital received the body of one man and 15 wounded people, among them girls. Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, who was approved by parliament for a second term along with a national unity cabinet on December 21 after more than nine months of political deadlock, has cited security as a top priority.
