BAGHDAD, Iraq_A suicide car bomb hit a major police station in the northern
city of Mosul Thursday, prompting authorities to impose an indefinite curfew
throughout the city, police and witnesses said.

and there were casualties, but no specific figures were immediately
available, according to police Col. Abdul-Karim al-Jibouri.

and pedestrians scurrying for cover.
