BAGHDAD, Jan 2 (KUNA) -- Initial reports of a suicide bombing in Baquba on
Tuesday indicated the assailant was a woman, but it has now been confirmed the
suicide bomber was in fact a male terrorist, the US military said in a
statement on Wednesday.
The identity of the bomber is not yet known, the statement added.
The statement also said the suicide bomber reportedly blew himself up after
he jumped onto the hood of a car being driven by a Concerned Local Citizen
(CLC).
The explosion killed the driver of the car and three other Iraqis, while
injuring six innocent civilians, the statement noted.
Earlier, Iraqi police said the attack was carried out by a suicide female
which resulted in the killing four Iraqi civilians, and injuring 18 others.
The Iraqi story also indicated that among those who were killed was one of
the US-sponsored Al-Sahwa (Awakening) council leaders in Baquba, Sheikh Abu
Sajaad.(end)
