Suicide bomber hits Iraqi cafe, killing 38

A suicide bomber detonated his explosives in a crowded coffee shop late Friday in the northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk, killing at least 38 and wounding more than two dozen in the latest in a string of bloody attacks pounding Iraq since the start of the holy month of Ramadan this week.

Another suicide bomber and a shooting elsewhere in the country killed five members of the security forces, bringing Friday's toll to 43. (AP)
