At least 80 people have been killed and more than 180 injured in a fresh wave of suicide bombings in Iraq, including a fuel tanker attack south of Baghdad. President Jalal Talabani sent a letter of condolence to the Iraqi people and the families of those who died in the bombing, according to a statement issued by his office. In Saturday’ s bombing, the suicide bomber detonated himself near a gas station. At the same time, police said, mortar rounds were fired at two police stations, the Musayyib police headquarters and the city’ s general hospital. Police said Sunday they cannot yet isolate the casualties from each site. The attack, in Babil province, happened in an area known to many as the Triangle of Death. The tanker entered Musayyib after being searched at the city’ s entrance and parked at the city center, according to police. The bomber, strapped with an explosive vest, approached the tanker and detonated. Police are calling it a coordinated attack, suggesting the tanker’ s driver was an accomplice.
