The mayor of a town in northern Iraq says car bombs have struck an elementary school and a police station in a nearby village, killing at least 10, mostly children.
Tal Afar mayor Abdel-Aal al-Obeidi says the twin blasts hit the nearby village of Qabak on Sunday morning, the start of the work week. Tal Afar is 420 kilometers (260 miles) northwest of Baghdad, not far from the Syrian border. He says eight of the dead are children killed in the school, which partially collapsed in the blast, and that others may be trapped inside. (AP)
