Iraqi workers die in bomb attack
A suicide bomber has blown himself among a crowd of labourers
looking
for work in the Iraqi town of Hilla, killing at least 22 people.
Another 44 people were injured in the attack in the mainly Shia
Muslim
town.
Witnesses said the bomber rammed a car laden with explosives into
the
crowd of men who were queuing in a yard.
In a Shia area of eastern Baghdad, at least 10 people died and 45
were
injured as three car bombs went off at a bus station.
In other attacks:
* Three civilians were killed and three police injured in a
roadside bomb attack in central Baghdad
* Sunni insurgents attacked a police checkpoint and shot police
and Shia residents in the city of Baquba on Saturday, police said,
prompting a curfew
'Remains and blood'
The attack in Hilla took place in the central Bab al-Hussein area of
the town, 100km (65 miles) south of Baghdad, at about 0700 (0400
GMT),
police told AFP news agency.
People were racing everywhere looking for their missing sons,
brothers, friends

"The sudden explosion shook the whole area and shattered the windows
of a store I was standing outside of nearby," said Muhsin Hadi
Alwan,
33, one of the wounded labourers.
"The ground was covered with the remains of people and blood, and
survivors ran in all directions. How will I feed the six members of
my
family when I return home without work and without money?" he told
AP
news agency.
Another witness, Mohammed Abbas Kadhim, 30, said: "I was thrown a
few
metres by the blast and I couldn't see or hear for a few minutes as
I
was laying on the ground.
"People were racing everywhere looking for their missing sons,
brothers, friends - all of them shouting: 'God is great,'" he said.
Continued bloodshed
The Iraqi government estimates that 150,000 Iraqis have been killed
since the US-led invasion in 2003.
This year the death toll has been about 100 people every day, adding
up to some 3,000 a month.
Last month a bomb blast in a police station in Hilla killed the
commander of an Iraqi special police force unit.
It is about three months since the last major attack in Hilla, when
a
bomb was detonated at an army recruitment centre, killing a dozen
would-be recruits and injuring many more.
In February 2005 Hilla was the site of one of the worst bomb attacks
since the US-led invasion, when a suicide car bomber killed 125
national guard and police recruits.
