MOSUL: At least eight people were killed and 20 wounded in a suicide truck bombing in Iraq's restive northern city of Mosul on Friday, security sources told.
The blast occurred in the southern part of Mosul, Iraq's second largest city, Lieutenant Colonel Mohammed al-Juburi told. An interior ministry official said at least eight people were killed.
Despite repeated Iraqi-US operations in Mosul, the city is still gripped by a strong insurgency, in part due to a complex Kurd, Sunni and Christian mix but also because of tribal rivalries.
