A female suicide bomber killed nine people and wounded 12 when
she blew herself up at a market in the northern Iraqi city of
Baquba on Monday, police said.
There were no further details on the attack in the capital of
Diyala province.
The use of female suicide bombers has become a popular tactic

The U.S. military says there have been more than 20 female suicide
bombings this year in Iraq. It has blamed the attacks on Sunni

region that was once overrun by al Qaeda.
Last month, a female suicide bomber blew herself up among policemen
outside a restaurant in Baquba, killing 15 people.
