Bombers strike Iraq govt building, at least 28 dead


BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A car bomb and a roadside bomb blew up in a crowded parking lot outside a government building north of Baghdad on Tuesday, killing at least 28 people and wounding dozens more, officials said.

The blasts struck a municipal office in the town of Taji, about 20 km (12 miles) north of the Iraqi capital, a day after a wave of attacks on police and soldiers that underscored Iraq's fragile security as U.S. troops prepare to leave by year-end.
