Suicide blast kills 2 at Iraq elderly home

-Police: U.S. bombing kills 13

The U.S. military bombed a poultry farm early Tuesday 20 miles (32 kilometers) northeast of Baquba, north of the capital, killing 13 people and wounding four, police said. A journalist hired by CNN said at least three children and two elderly men were among the dead. It appeared that those killed were guarding the farm, and some of them were sleeping inside and on top of a chicken house, said the journalist, who was at the scene. The U.S. military did not respond to CNN requests for comment, but did issue a statement about raids in the area early Tuesday. It said coalition forces killed 15 terrorists and captured three other suspects during simultaneous raids north of Baquba.
