How many people are wounded in the bombing? [br] [originaltext] A suicide bo

A suicide bomber struck a crowded army recruitment center in Baghdad killing 61 people on Tuesday, officials said, as violence coinciding with the Muslim holy month of Ramadan raged across Iraq. (29)The attack, the deadliest this year, wounded at least another 100 people and came a day after Iraq’s two main political parties suspended talks over the formation of a new government and as the U. S. withdraws thousands of its soldiers from the country. The massive morning blast took place just outside a military headquarters. (30) The site receives about 250 new recruits each week, as Iraq’s security forces try to bolster their ranks ahead of the U.S. military’s withdrawal.
    Witnesses said the bomber, who was notably fair haired, had been mingling with as many as 1,000 recruit hopefuls when he walked up to an army officer who was checking identifications and blew himself up. The recruits had been assembling since before dawn in an open and unprotected area. Iraqi military spokesman Major General Qassim al-Moussawi blamed al-Qaida in Iraq for enlisting the bomber.
