Suicide Car Bomb North of Baghdad Kills 11 Iraqis

TIKRIT, Iraq (Reuters) - A suicide car bomber blew up his vehicle at the entrance to a U.S. military base north of Baghdad Tuesday, killing at least 11 Iraqis and wounding 20 others and two American soldiers, the U.S. military said.

The attack occurred at a military base near Baiji, an oil-refining town 112 miles north of Baghdad.

Iraqi police Captain Sabah Mahmoud said the bomber drove a black BMW car toward the base and detonated it at the entrance.

"I saw five cars ablaze and people scattered everywhere," said Amir Ismael, a 38-year-old man wounded in the abdomen and thigh.

The blast came on the day Iraq's new government was announced. The government will formally take over sovereignty from the U.S.-led administration on June 30.
