Bomber strikes Iraq police centre
At least 13 people have been killed in a suicide bomb
attack in the Iraqi province of Diyala, north of
Baghdad.
Police said 10 more people were wounded in the attack
on Thursday which targeted a recruiting centre for
neighbourhood police patrols.
The police said US soldiers may have been among the
casualties and that the toll could rise.
Neighbourhood patrols have worked with US forces to
confront al-Qaeda fighters, one of the tactics
Washington says has led to a 60 per cent decrease in
attacks in Iraq since June.
The patrols are now being increasingly targeted.
US commanders say al-Qaeda has regrouped in northern
provinces, including Diyala, after being pushed out of
other parts of Iraq.
Al-Sadr ceasefire
US commanders also claim that a ceasefire by fighters
of the al-Mahdi Army, loyal to Muqtada al-Sadr, a
populist Shia figure, is lowering the bloodshed in the
country.
Al-Sadr's spokesman said the leader was considering
extending the six-month truce after it expires in
February.
Al-Sadr, who led uprisings against US troops in 2004
and whose followers were later described by US
commanders as their greatest threat, surprised both
Iraqis and US forces when he ordered the initial
six-month freeze on his group in August.
On Wednesday in Najaf, al-Sadr's spokesman, said:
"Yes, there is a chance that the freeze on the Mahdi
Army will be extended."
The son of a prominent Shia scholar killed under the
government of Saddam Hussein, al-Sadr has wide
influence in the Shia south and parts of Baghdad
although he does not himself carry religious standing.
