Fresh Attacks As Rumsfeld Arrives in Baghdad

HeadlineFeb 23, 2004

At least ten people were killed and scores of others wounded when a suicide bomber rammed a car into a police station in the northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk.

The attack occurred shortly before U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld flew into Baghdad on an unannounced visit the Pentagon says is aimed at assessing security. An Iraqi hospital official said some 42 people were wounded and some reports indicate that the death toll is expected to rise. Most of the dead were Iraqi police officers. The deaths bring the number of Iraqi police killed since the fall of Baghdad to more than 300.
