Baquba, Iraq (AFP) Oct 29, 2010 At least 25 people were killed and 70 wounded in a suicide bombing at a coffee house in the town of Balad Ruz in central Iraq's restive Diyala province on Friday, a police official said. "Twenty-five people were killed and 70 wounded ... when a suicide bomber detonated a belt filled with explosives at a coffee house in the centre of the city at 9:00 pm (1800 GMT)," said Balad Ruz police chief Major Ahmed al-Tamimi. Among the casualties were three women and two children, he said. The number of such attacks throughout Iraq has fallen since 2008 when Diyala province was an Al-Qaeda stronghold. Although Al-Qaeda has lost ground, the province remains one of the most restive since the 2003 US-led invasion. The attack took place in a region with a Kurdish Shiite majority.
