BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) — In the deadliest day since the December 15 elections, at least 92 people were killed in Iraq and scores were wounded in separate suicide-bomb attacks, authorities said Thursday.
In Ramadi, 50 people were killed and dozens were wounded when a bomber detonated near an Iraqi police recruitment and screening drive, according to a U.S. Marine news release.
About 1,000 people were waiting in line to apply for positions on the new Iraqi police force being reconstituted, officials said.
Ramadi is the capital of restive Anbar province, where U.S. and Iraqi military forces conducted several operations just before the elections, aimed at rooting out a strong insurgency there.
