Assailants firing from two cars have killed up to 20 Iraqis as they were heading to work at a US military facility in the northern city of Tikrit while separate attacks killed four Iraqi security personnel in nearby towns.
Captain Bill Coppernoll, spokesman for the Tikrit-based US 1st Infantry Division, said the attackers fired from two cars at several buses carrying Iraqis working for the US-led forces that had stopped in northern Tikrit, 130km north of Baghdad.
