A suicide bomber killed five Iraqi civilians on 28 October, said local police in Fallujah. Officers at the scene said that a man drove a small car towards a police station in the town and detonated the bomb about 100 metres from the building, outside a local school. Witnesses say that school children are among the dead. Fallujah, which is situated in the predominantly Sunni area north of Baghdad, continues to be the scene of regular attacks against coalition troops.
