Death toll from Iraq suicide blast put at 47

THE toll from a suicide bombing at an Iraqi army recruitment centre today rose to 47 killed and 77 wounded, a deputy health minister said.

The toll was not expected to increase, said Deputy Health Minister Khamis al-Saad.

It was one of the bloodiest attacks in weeks, underscoring a spreading sense of gloom more than five months after an inconclusive election that has yet to produce a new government and ahead of the end of US combat operations this month.
