surge update - Two Bombings Kill at Least 30 Iraqis

[spanone]

BAGHDAD — Suicide bombings in Baghdad and Mosul took the lives of at least 30 Iraqis on Monday in carnage that recalled levels of violence from before the American troop build-up.

The Baghdad bombing occurred at a police training academy on the eastern side of the Tigris just as students were leaving their lectures for lunch. As they streamed out the front gate, a car dropped off a youth — most witnesses say he looked to be 16 or 17 — who walked into the crowd and detonated his suicide vest, according to witnesses.

Moments later the car he had arrived in, which had parked a down the road, exploded as well. It was unclear if the second attack was a suicide bomb or a stationary car bomb. At least 16 people were killed in the explosions, The Associated Press reported.
