    BEIJING, May 12 -- There's been no let-up of violence in Iraq, as insurgents killed more than 70 people on Wednesday in attacks launched in different cities.

    The deadliest blast hit Saddam Hussein's hometown of Tikrit. A suicide car bomber blew up his vehicle among a crowd of mainly Shi'ite migrant laborers from southern Iraq who had gathered to look for jobs. Police said at least 33 were killed and 80 wounded.

    In Hawija, a small town in the north of the country, a man with hidden explosives slipped past security guards protecting a police and army recruitment center. He detonated the explosives just outside the building, killing 32 people and wounding about 35 others.

    In the capital Baghdad, at least three separate attacks targeted local police. Six people, including both police officers and civilians, were killed. At least 11 others were also injured in the attacks.

    And on the same day, a roadside bomb targeted an Iraqi National Guards convoy in Falluja. Hospital sources said three guardsmen lost their lives in the blast, and another, together with three civilians, was injured.
