The death toll from a devastating truck bombing in Baghdad rose to 63 yesterday and US forces blamed a rogue Shi'ite militia for the attack.
Four children and five women were among those killed by Tuesday's blast near a crowded market in the predominantly Shi'ite neighborhood of al-Hurriya in northwestern Baghdad, Iraqi police said.
