A girl suicide bomber aged only 13 has killed five U.S.-backed security patrolmen and wounded 11 other people when she struck in Iraq.

The attack came at a checkpoint in Baquba, 35 miles north-east of Baghdad in the volatile Diyala province.

It came on a day when more than 30 died in Iraq. In Baghdad, another suicide bomber struck in a crowd that had gathered to help after two car bombs damaged a bus full of schoolgirls.
