The wounded included 32 Iraqis and 26 Poles, as well as Hungarians, Bulgarians, Filipinos and an American. The casualty toll could have been much higher had guards not opened fire and prevented the bombers from entering the camp. One truck exploded under the gunfire and another blew up after hitting a concrete barrier.
The 7:15 a.m. blasts - from 1,540 pounds of explosives - flattened 11 homes nearby and blew down the entire sides of several other houses in this town south of Baghdad.
