By Associated Press | December 26, 2007

YOUSSIFIYAH, Iraq — Yesterday, 10 people were killed and five were wounded in a suicide bombing in Baqouba, 35 miles northeast of Baghdad, the American military said.

Local officials said a bomber wearing an explosives vest targeted a funeral procession for two members of an Awakening Council group.

Local police said the two were killed by American forces in a dawn raid in Baqouba. The American military confirmed two people were killed in the raid and said at least one member was a member of the anti Al Qaeda groups.

In the other suicide attack, a truck bomb exploded outside a residential complex belonging to a state-run oil company in the town of Beiji, about 155 miles north of Baghdad, killing 25 people and injuring 80, police and hospital officials said.
