BAGHDAD,(Saba)- A car bomb blew up at the gate of an Iraqi security force base just north of Baghdad on Sunday, killing six Iraqis and wounding at least 20, local media reported.

The blast targeted a training base for the Iraqi Civil Defence Corps at the al-Taji airbase which belongs to the former Iraqi army, a US officer at the scene was quoted as saying.

On Saturday, a rocket-propelled grenade attack wounded 17 Iraqis, who were queuing up outside an army recruiting centre in the northern city of Mosul.

Iraqi insurgents have frequently targeted Iraqi police and security forces who were accused of collaborating with the US-led occupation of their country, the report said.
