A car bomb exploded next to a U.S. and Iraqi joint military convoy
in the northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk on Tuesday (July 12, 2005), killing three
civilians and wounding 15 others, Iraqi police said.
"A car bomb, a Toyota pick-up truck exploded. We heard the
explosion and went to check and we found three dead civilians and 15

in the city, Kurds, Arabs and Turkmen and it has seen significant
violence over the past year.
