A suicide car bomber attacked Iraq's largest newspaper yesterday, detonating his vehicle inside its fortified compound in Baghdad, killing two people and wounding 20. The bombing of Al-Sabah (Morning), which is financed by the Shiite-led Iraqi government, caused the collapse of a quarter of the building where journalists and printers work. It was the second attack on Al-Sabah in three months. Falah al-Mishaal, the executive editor, blamed Iraqi insurgents and foreign terrorist groups, including the successor group to the organisation of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the Al Qaeda leader killed two months ago.
