At Least 26 Killed In Iraq Car Bombing

At least 26 people were killed on Tuesday in a car bombing near a military base north of the Iraqi capital Baghdad, Al Jazeera television reported.

The Doha-based broadcaster added that at least 30 people were injured when the car exploded in Taji, around 30 kilometres north of Baghdad.

Although the level of violence has dropped from a peak in 2006, attacks have become almost daily occurrences in Iraq this year.

Eighty-eight people were killed in a wave of bombings on Sept. 9, the worst since U.S. forces withdrew in December, almost a decade after the invasion to oust Saddam Hussein. (dpa/NAN)
