At least 11 Iraqis were killed and 44 other Iraqis and 58 occupation troops were injured in a double car bombing attack on a Polish camp in Iraq, a Polish military spokesman was quoted as saying by the public radio.
Two of the dead were apparently the drivers of explosives-laden vehicles which drove towards the camp, while the injured were Polish soldiers, Americans and Hungarians, according to the Polish military declaration.
Spokesman Robert Strzelecki said only one of the two cars, which moved towards the base at around 7:15 am, had exploded.
The second had been stopped when soldiers at the base shot its driver dead, he added.
