Independent: 10 killed in Baghdad truck bombing

An explosives-laden truck speeding toward a police station collided with a bus at an intersection before dawn Wednesday, killing at least 10 people amid a surge of violence since the weekend arrest of Saddam Hussein.

Twenty people were also injured in the attack in al-Bayaa, a poor district in south-west Baghdad, hospital officials said. Ahmed Kadhim Ibrahim, deputy interior minister, said the dead were Iraqis, and that the truck driver had planned to strike the police station.
