BAGHDAD (AP) — Iraqi officials say a suicide bombing against an
Interior Ministry building in central Baghdad has killed at least 11
people.
A police officer says the suicide bomber drove an
explosives-laden car into the gate of the intelligence headquarters in
Karrada district Saturday afternoon, killing six civilians and five
security personnel.
He added that 24 other people were wounded.
A
medical official confirmed causality figures. Both officials spoke on
condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to brief the media.
Since
early this year, Iraq has been facing a growing Sunni insurgency with
the Islamic State group and allied Sunni militants who have taken over
areas in the country's west and north.
The crisis has worsened since June when the group declared an Islamic state, or caliphate, in territory under its control.
