Suicide Bombs in Iraq Kill 18, Plane Reported Hit Sat November 22, 2003 07:49 AM ET (Page 1 of 3) By Michael Georgy BAQUBA, Iraq (Reuters) - Suicide bombers blew up cars packed with explosives outside two police stations north of Baghdad Saturday, killing at least 18 people in the latest deadly strikes on Iraq's U.S.-backed police force. In Baghdad, a civilian plane operated by global cargo company DHL made an emergency landing after one of its engines caught fire. Airport officials said the plane may have been hit by a missile and the U.S. Army said it was investigating. In the town of Khan Bani Saad, a car sped toward a police station and detonated as Iraqi police opened fire on it, U.S. soldiers at the scene said. Captain Ryan McCormack said six police and three civilians were killed. Another suicide bomber targeted the main police headquarters in the nearby town of Baquba, 65 km (40 miles) north of Baghdad. Lieutenant Colonel William MacDonald, spokesman for the U.S. 4th Infantry Division, said seven policemen and two civilians were killed in Baquba. reuters.com
