In Baghdad, Iraq, a suicide bomber wearing a vest jammed full of explosives attacked a police recruitment center and killed at least 65 people and wounded 160 others.This attack was staged at a checkpoint where hundreds of people wait for their turn to enter the center. The Tikrit's general hospital was packed full of people who needed immediate medical attention. This was called by Vice President Tariq Al-Hashimi a "cowardly act" and Iraqi Prime Nuri al-Maliki wants to get to the bottom of the incident, which he calls the latest of similar "heinous crimes." -CNN.com
