Iraq violence leaves dozens dead

A number of blasts in Baghdad and northern Iraq have left at least 32 people dead. A suicide car bomber killed 14 people and wounded 30 in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul. The attack targeted an Iraqi police and US military joint patrol, police said. Earlier, at least 15 people were killed and around 45 others injured during twin blasts at Baghdad's police academy. The near simultaneous explosions were caused by a car blast and suicide bomber. Police said academy students and civilians are among the dead and wounded. Elsewhere, a senior Iraqi military officer was seriously wounded in a roadside bomb attack on his convoy as he left home. The explosion in the Sulaikh district of northern Baghdad killed Major-General Mudhar al-Mawla's driver and two civilians, and wounded 13 others.
