Ten Iraqis including two soldiers were killed and six injured Saturday in a suicide attack in Telafar, 450 kilometres north-west of Baghdad, according to dpa. Reports had earlier put the death toll in the blast at four. Police said a suicide bomber had driven his explosives-laden vehicle into an Iraqi military checkpoint in the Salam district. Four of the injured were soldiers, however there was no information on their condition. They have been moved to a nearby hospital. In Kirkuk, Iraqi authorities deployed 14,000 security elements, 250 kilometres north of Baghdad, after imposing a curfew a day earlier. The curfew will run "until further notice," a senior police officer told Deutsche Presse-Agentur dpa. Vehicles and persons will not be allowed to move about as part of the police crackdown on militancy.
