13 Iraqis killed in blasts

BAGHDAD, JAN. 11. A roadside bomb that missed a passing U.S. military convoy killed seven Iraqis in a minibus on Tuesday, police and hospital sources said, while a suicide car bomb at police headquarters in Tikrit killed six.

The killings were the latest in a series of attacks by militants who are trying to disrupt a landmark January 30 national election.

The last two days have seen a new surge of attacks, with four roadside bombings and suicide attacks on Iraqi and American forces on Monday.

The victims in the roadside bomb explosion were travelling in a bus in Yussifiyah when the blast occurred, said the director of the town's hospital. Little other information was known.

A U.S. military spokesman said six were killed, while police sources said 12 were wounded. At dawn on Tuesday, an explosion tore through a gas pipeline between Kirkuk and a refinery in Beiji.
