11 Iraqis Killed in Failed Suicide Attack

At least 11 Iraqi civilians were killed Wednesday morning when a pair of suicide bombers tried to attack a coalition base where international troops are based, a coalition spokeswoman said.

The attack outside Camp Charlie in Hillah also wounded 44 other Iraqis and 58 coalition troops, including Hungarians, Poles and an American. Polish Gen. Mieczyslaw Bieniek called it a “well coordinated terrorist attack.”

Spokeswoman Hilary White said the attack occurred near several homes located near the military camp and the dead included men, women and children.
