Suicide car bomber kills 8 west of Baghdad
None
A suicide car bomber struck a police patrol west of Baghdad Sunday and killed eight people, most of them civilians standing in line outside a post office to collect the monthly stipend for the country's poorest, police officials said.
The blast comes just a day after explosions tore through a market in the south killing 43 people. Violence across Iraq has spiked in the past month as the US moves ahead with a major drawdown of its troops set to be completed by the end of the month. (AP)
