15 killed in suicide blast targeting Baghdad police academy

A suicide car bomber blew up his car in front of a Baghdad police academy resulting in the deaths of at least 15 people. Nobody has claimed responsibility for the attacks but it is widely believed to be related to Al Qaeda. The academy is the only one in the city and is within the heavily guarded ministry compound. The bomber was able to get so close because the academy has a separate entrance. The bomber was near the entrance and waited for a group of recruits to walk out of the door and then drove up and exploded the car outside the entrance.
