At least 500 people are now feared dead from Tuesday’s massive suicide bombing in northern Iraq. The initial toll of 250 had already made it the deadliest attack of the Iraq War. Rescue workers continue to pull bodies from the rubble of more than 30 destroyed buildings, including several homes. The bombings targeted a Kurdish area home to followers of the Yazidi religion. Three suicide trucks carrying two tons of explosives attacked almost simultaneously.
