A suicide car bombing killed 11 Iraqis in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul on Monday, police said.

At least 16 others were wounded in the attack on a hospital in the city, some 400 km north of Baghdad.

The blast was the deadliest suicide attack following the Iraqi parliamentary election on Jan. 30.

Iraqi militants have mounted attacks on security forces to try to overturn the US-backed interim government.
