                        Suicide Bomber Kills 42 in Iraq

   Police in southern Iraq say a suicide bomber killed at least 42 people
   and wounded 157 others when he detonated an explosive-filled minibus at
   a crowded security checkpoint.
   The Sunday attack set ablaze 50 cars, killing those trapped inside as
   they waited for their vehicles to be searched.
   The bombing was at the northern entrance to the Shi`ite-dominated city
   of Hillah, about 100 kilometers south of Baghdad.
   There has been no claim of responsibility for the attack.
   Iraq has been experiencing its worst violence in recent years, driven
   primarily by widespread discontent among its Sunni Arab minority and by
   the civil war in neighboring Syria. More than 1,400 people have been
   killed this year.
