BAGHDAD, Iraq - An Iraqi carrying hidden explosives set them off in a police recruitment center in northern Iraq Wednesday, killing at least 50 Iraqis, the U.S. military said.

State-owned TV in Iraq and Al-Arabiya television had a higher death toll, saying 60 were killed and as many as 150 wounded.

The attack in Irbil, a Kurdish city 220 miles north of Baghdad, appeared to be the deadliest by insurgents in Iraq since Feb. 28, when a suicide car bomber struck a crowd of police and national guard recruits outside a medical clinic in Hillah, south of the capital. That attack, which killed 110 people and wounded 133, was the single deadliest in the insurgency.

Capt. Mark Walter, the spokesman who provided the U.S. military death toll in Irbil, said the blast occurred as many Iraqis were applying for Iraqi police jobs at the recruitment center.

Ambulances and taxis raced to the chaotic scene and took casualties to local hospitals.

Altogether now, this latest successful mass slaughter of Iraqis is yet another sign of the insurgencies feeling of desperation.

Oh, and once again, don't forget the brilliance of noted military analyst Rich Lowry,
