More Than 250 Dead in Weekend of Iraq Violence

HeadlineJul 09, 2007

In Iraq, more than 250 people were killed this weekend in a wave of violence across the country. At least 150 people died Saturday in a massive truck bombing in the northern town of Tuz Khormato. Locals compared the aftermath to scenes of an earthquake. More than 100 shops and homes were destroyed, with dozens of bodies feared dead beneath the rubble. It was the second-deadliest insurgent bombing attack since the U.S.-led invasion in 2003.
