A suicide car bomber wearing a police uniform killed at least 15 traffic policemen and wounded 100 others during morning roll call at a police headquarters in this northern Kurdish city. The bombing that ripped through the police facility was one in a series attacks, including at least five suicide car bombings, that swept Iraq Monday. Authorities reported 37 people died in attacks nationwide in the ongoing militant offensive that has killed nearly 1,200 in less than two months. On Sunday, a suicide bomber walked into a Baghdad kebab restaurant popular with policemen and blew himself up, killing 23 people, including seven officers. "Most of the attacks targeting the Iraqi security forces, including the police, are launched by Muslim fundamentalists," said Sabah Kadhim, an Interior Ministry spokesman. "Iraq has become the center of global terrorism, and those groups' attacks are aiming to create a sectarian crisis. Their main aim is to keep the country in chaos," he was quoted as saying by The Associated Press.
