At Least 15 Killed in Iraq Truck Bombing

Shabak minority targeted

(Reuters)—A suicide bomber driving a truck packed with explosives blew himself up in a village in northern Iraq on Thursday, killing at least 15 members of the country's Shabak minority, police said.

It was not immediately clear who was behind the attack, but Sunni Islamist militants who have a presence in Nineveh province have in the past targeted predominantly Shi'ite Shabaks living there and have warned them to leave.
