BAGHDAD: A suicide bomber on a bicycle blew himself up killing at least 28 people and wounding 58 more outside a police academy in the Iraqi capital on Sunday in the bloodiest attack in weeks, officials said.
The bomber activated his vest as he sped into the crowd in central Baghdad on busy Palestine Street, an interior ministry official told. "The death toll has reached 28 dead and 58 wounded. The majority of the dead were police or recruits," the official said.
Police academies across Iraq have come under repeated attack as Al-Qaeda and other insurgents continue to target security forces around the country.
The injured have been shifted to the hospital, while the death toll rise feared.
