As many as five suicide bombers killed 12 people on Sunday at an Iraqi army complex, the military said, in the first major strike in Baghdad since the US army declared an end to combat operations last week.
The coordinated attack occurred in the morning at the rear gate of Rusafa military command headquarters in the centre of the capital, which only three weeks ago was hit by a massive suicide bombing that killed dozens.
Accounts varied between witnesses and security force members, but the capital's security command said five suicide attackers had approached the compound in a minibus.
