Iraqi suicide bombing, attacks kill 11

Insurgents opened fire on members of Iraq's National Guard in Khaldiya, west of Baghdad, killing five people.

In Baghdad, a suicide car bomb exploded outside an Iraqi army recruitment center in northern Baghdad on Tuesday, killing at least six Iraqis and wounding 44. On the other side of the capital, the National Assembly briefly adjourned after a legislator claimed he had been roughed up at a US checkpoint.

The blast occurred in the Azamiyah section of the capital about 18 yards from the front gate of the center and the fatalities included at least two soldiers, police Col. Hussein Mutlaq said.

All the victims of the car bomb appeared to be Iraqis, Mutlaq said, as insurgents continued to target Iraqi soldiers and others they accuse of collaborating with US forces.
