KIRKUK, Iraq -- A bomb exploded outside a bank in the northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk on Tuesday, killing 18 people including pensioners waiting in line and child street vendors selling groceries, police said.

Another 53 people were wounded by the blast, said Capt. Salam Zangana, an official at a hospital where the victims were being brought.

The bomb was planted near a line of people waiting outside the Rafidiyan Bank in downtown Kirkuk, 180 miles north of Baghdad, police Col. Shiraz Mohammed said.

The 9 a.m. blast was caused by a roadside bomb planted outside the bank and two cars parked nearby were set on flames, Mohammed said.
