KIRKUK, Iraq: A suicide bomber exploded a cart of sweets on a crowded playground in the northern Iraq town of Tuz yesterday, killing a child and a father and wounding at least 20 children.
The father, who had come to the playground with his children for the Eid al-Fitr festival tried to prevent the suicide bomber from setting off his explosives but failed, police captain Hiwa Abdullah said.
A spokesman at the hospital in Tuz, about 200 kilometres north of Baghdad, confirmed it had received the bodies of a man and a child.
Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of the holy fasting month of Ramadan and which began in Iraq for Sunni Arabs yesterday, is traditionally a day when families visit relatives and head to public parks for picnics and relaxation.
