Close shave for Iraq governor

4 killed in suicide blasts; 23 bodies recovered from garbage bin

AGENCIES, Baghdad
The governor of the province of Diyala survived one of two bombings in Baqouba early Sunday that a hospital official said killed four people and injured 37 while 23 bodies were recovered from .
The two explosions detonated about five minutes apart in a busy street as people were heading to work in downtown Baqouba, 35 miles northeast of Baghdad.
The first targeted the convoy of
Diyala governor Raed Rashid Hamid al-Mullah Jawad, who escaped unharmed, said police Col. Mudhafar Muhammed.
A second bomb exploded minutes later about 500 yards away, rocking a crowded Baqouba area where the city's police, army, court and taxation headquarters are located.
Ambulances rushed to the scene, where body parts, including a hand and foot, lied on the ground amid pools of blood and shards of glass.
Raed Abdul Munim, head of Baqouba General Hospital, said the bodies of four people killed in the blasts were brought to his hospital, along with 37 people who were injured.
Iraqi government officials have been regularly targeted by insurgents determined to derail the war-ravaged country's reconstruction effort. Meanwhile, Iraqi authorities said yesterday they had discovered the bodies of 23 people who had been killed execution-style then dumped.
Iraqi police said they had found the bodies of 13 people who were shot dead and left in a garbage dump in Baghdad.
A police official said the handcuffed men, mostly bearded, were shot in the head and left in an area of eastern Baghdad near where 14 other corpses were recently discovered.
"Residents of the area called us and said a garbage truck came early this morning and dumped the bodies and we confirmed it," a police official told Reuters.
Insurgents have killed scores of Iraqis they suspect of ties to US troops or the Iraqi government and dumped their bodies.
The corpses of 10 Iraqi soldiers killed by insurgents have also been found in the western city of Ramadi, the Defense Ministry said.
In a statement, it said the bodies were found on Saturday and the men had been dead for around two days. Ramadi, 110 km west of Baghdad, is one of the strongholds of the insurgency in Iraq.
Insurgents have killed thousands of Iraqi security forces with suicide bombings or in ambushes where they are shot or beheaded.
