   bomb attack in Baghdad, Iraq, Sunday, May 22, 2011

   Iraq Interior Ministry officials say a suicide bomber blew himself up
   in a crowd of police officers near Baghdad, killing seven people and
   wounding 10 other people.
   Authorities say the police were investigating the site of a roadside
   bomb blast when the suicide attacker walked into the crowd and
   detonated his explosives.
   The Sunday morning assault near Taji, 20 kilometers north of Baghdad,
   raised the death toll for a series of explosions in and around the
   capital to 13.
