BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A female suicide bomber killed 10 people in Iraq on Wednesday, the latest in a string of suicide bombings that has seen a major strike nearly every day of the past week despite an overall decline in violence.

The woman blew herself up with an explosive vest at a checkpoint of neighborhood patrol volunteers in Baquba, capital of the restive Diyala province. Twenty-eight people were wounded including some women, police said.

The attack came the day after a bomber detonated his explosive vest in a tent crowded with mourners at a Baghdad funeral. Police raised the death toll from that strike to 34, making it the worst in the capital in six months.

U.S. forces said the strikes showed that al Qaeda Sunni Arab militants remained able to carry out so-called "spectacular" attacks killing large numbers of people despite improvements in security that saw overall levels of violence drop.

3. Suicide bombers

are copying each other don't you think?

Are these women mentally ill and given explosives to cause chaos and death? I don't know many people who have explosive vests sitting around their homes here in the US or Baghdad.

It has been reported that there is a high incidence of suicide females in Iraq. We must get out of there. Everyone is in danger.
