BAGHDAD — A series of attacks in Iraq, including a double suicide car bombing targeting a military base, killed 30 people across the country, officials said. The deadliest attack took place when the two suicide bombers drove their explosive-laden cars into a military base in the town of Tarmiyah late Thursday, killing at least 19 soldiers and wounding 41, authorities said. Tarmiyah, a former insurgent stronghold home to Sunnis, is about 50 kms north of Baghdad.  Earlier Thursday, police said a bombing at a tent serving food to pilgrims on their way to Karbala, killed four people and wounded six, police said. Before that, officials said a suicide bomber detonated an explosive-laden car at an army post, killing three soldiers and wounding six in the town of Ana. Police said another bomb blast killed two persons in a town just south of Baghdad. In the northern city of Mosul, police said a bomb struck an outdoor market Thursday evening, killing two people and wounding eight. — AP
