College Bomber Was Female

A suicide bomber who killed 42 people in an attack in Baghdad on Sunday was a woman, security officials say.

The bomber blew herself up at the entrance to a college in the city's east. Another 55 people were injured.

Hours after the bombing, Iraqi Shia militia leader Moqtada Sadr said the US-backed security crackdown in Baghdad was doomed to fail.

He said no security plan would work unless the government assumed full responsibility for protecting citizens.

Mr Sadr, whose militia controls the College of Administration and Economics, where most of Sunday's deaths occurred, once again called on the Americans to withdraw from Iraq.
