BAGHDAD – Attacks around Iraq Sunday, including a suicide car bombing, killed at least 12 people, officials said, the latest in a surge of violence that has brought up the grim prospect of escalation into sectarian civil war.
The car bomber rammed his vehicle into a Kurdish security patrol in country’s north and killing eight. He struck as the patrol was passing through the ethnically-mixed northern town of Tuz Khormato, local police chief Col. Hussein Ali Rasheed said. Five people were wounded, he said.
