Four suicide attacks across Iraq killed at least 60 people Wednesday.

    BEIJING, May 11 -- Four suicide attacks across Iraq killed at least 60 people Wednesday.

    In the deadliest, a man with hidden explosives set them off in a line of people outside a police and army recruitment center in northern Iraq, killing 30 and wounding 35.

    Police first thought the powerful blast in Hawija, a small town 150 miles north of Baghdad, was caused by a car bomb, but later they found it was an attacker waiting in a line of about 150 recruits.

    Thirty people were killed and 35 were wounded, including about 15 who were in critical condition.

    Hawija is located in a building surrounded by cement walls topped with barbed wire in an effort to prevent attacks by car bombs.

    In former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein's hometown of Tikrit, meanwhile, a suicide car bomb exploded in a small market near a police station, killing at least 27 people and wounding 75.

    Two car bombs also went off in the capital, Baghdad, killing at least three. Enditem
