Basra: In the latest suicide car bomb attack in Iraq, two car bombs killed 15 people and wounded 32 in the southern town of Qurna on Friday, hospital officials said.

Police said a bus exploded in a bus terminal in one attack while in the other a car blew up in a market.

Officials have accused Al Qaida-linked Sunni islamists of trying to stoke sectarian tensions by carrying out attacks in key Shiite cities in recent months.
