BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A suicide bomber killed eight people, including six soldiers, on Tuesday in the northern Iraqi city of Baiji, which the army is trying to control in order to break an Islamic State siege of the country's largest refinery nearby, officials said.
The bomber targeted a crowd gathering around soldiers who had retaken parts of the city centre, Baiji Mayor Mohammed Mahmoud told Reuters. Security officials said two civilians and six soldiers were killed.
