Baghdad police attack 'kills 28'

A suicide bomber has killed 28 people at a police recruitment center in the Iraqi capital Baghdad, police say.
At least 57 other people were wounded in the attack, which was reported to have been carried out by a bomber who drove his motorcycle into a crowd.
The victims were queuing outside the academy when the bomber struck.
The level of violence in Iraq has dipped significantly over the past year, but it remains a feature of daily life for many Iraqis.
At least 12 people died two days ago when a car bomb exploded at a cattle market in Babil province.
The BBC's Mike Sergeant says that although there has been a substantial decline in the violence in Iraq, it does not appear such attacks are ending altogether.
Explosives belt
Police recruitment centers have been a popular target for insurgents.
The attack happened in "the middle of a crowd outside the [police] academy on Palestine Street," a police official told AFP news agency.
Reports suggest the bomber detonated a belt of explosives as he drove into the waiting line of people.
