The Violence Continues In Iraq

Deadly Car Bombings Hit Northern Iraq -- Al Jazeera

Suicide attacks target police and army checkpoints, killing a total of 16 people in Mosul and in town near Kirkuk.

A car bombing in a commercial area of a northern Iraqi city has killed at least 10 people, while a separate bombing in the north has left six more dead, Iraqi officials say.

The explosives-laden parked car targeted a joint Iraqi army and police patrol while it passed through a busy commercial area in Mosul on Sunday, killing five civilians and five security personnel, a police officer told the Associated Press news agency.

He said at least 12 other people were wounded in that blast.

A medical official confirmed the figures. Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity as they were not authorised to release information.

Mosul is located about 360km northwest of Baghdad.
