Six Iraqi National Guardsmen Wounded By Suicide Car Bomb

BAQUBA, Iraq, Aug 3 (AFP) - Six Iraqi national guardsmen were wounded Tuesday when a suicide bomber blew up a car at a checkpoint on the northern road into the flashpoint city of Baquba, security and hospital sources said.
"At around 2:00 pm (1000 GMT) a car drove up to the Sabtiyah checkpoint and before the national guardsmen could search it, the driver blew up the vehicle," said Captain Sabah Nassif Jassem.
A doctor at Baquba hospital said six members of the national guard had been admitted suffering from burns.
Last Wednesday, a massive suicide bombing outside a rapid reaction police unit in Baquba, northeast of Baghdad, killed 70 people.
