BAGHDAD, July 20 (UPI) -- At least 11 Iraqis were killed and 25 others injured in a suicide bombing attack outside an army enlisting center in Baghdad Wednesday. The explosives were detonated in the crowd of volunteers near al-Muthanna airport, in the fourth such attack to target that particular center. Medics said 11 bodies were transferred to hospitals, as well as 25 wounded people, many suffering extremely critical injuries.
Iraq army and police centers are frequent targets for suicide bombers indicating an obvious attempt to discourage Iraqis from enlisting in the government forces.
