Suicide bombings continue in Iraq

Baghdad - A suicide bomber has killed himself and at least five people in the Iraqi town of Fallujah, according to reports.
Sky News says the car bomb exploded outside a school in the town.
Police officers said a lorry, belonging to a construction company, exploded 100m from the main police station but outside a secondary school for boys.
On Monday, at least 35 people died and 200 were injured in the worst day for casualties since President Bush said on May 1 that the war against Saddam Hussein was over.
The International Red Cross headquarters in Baghdad was targeted by a bomb driven in an ambulance and three police stations were also attacked.
Britain's special representative in Iraq, Sir Jeremy Greenstock, has said there are signs of foreign terrorist involvement in the string of deadly suicide bombings.
"There were suicide attackers in probably all the bomb explosions that went off yesterday in Baghdad, and that is a sign of foreign terrorist tactics, rather than the Saddam loyalist elements that we are still trying to chase down," he said.
It is thought they could be coming from Afghanistan and elsewhere in the Islamic world.
