BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A truck bomb targeting a Baghdad police station killed at least 11 people and wounded 30 on Sunday, a police source said.
The blast in the Mashtal area of eastern Baghdad killed and wounded both policemen and civilians, the police source said.
Militants have stepped up suicide bombings in the last 10 days as part of a campaign to topple the U.S.-backed Iraqi government. Police had no immediate comment on whether the Mashtal blast was carried out by a suicide bomber.
