BAGHDAD, June 21, SPA -- A suicide truck bomber struck a mayor's office in northern Iraq on Thursday, killing at least 10 people and wounding 40, an Iraqi commander said. The explosion, which occurred about 10:30 a.m. in the predominantly Sunni Arab town of Sulaiman Bek, caused part of the government building to collapse and destroyed at least four vehicles at the site, said Brig. Gen. Anwar Hamah, commander of the Iraqi army's 2nd Brigade. The Associated Press quoted Hamah as saying that at least 10 people were killed and 40 were wounded but he expected the casualty toll to rise as people were pulled from the rubble.--SPA www.spa.gov.sa/460902
