Was this perpetrated by the terrorists that Bush is negotiating with?

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - A suicide bomber who hid explosives beneath watermelons in a pickup truck slammed into a police headquarters in northern Iraq on Sunday, killing six people and wounding eight others, police and hospital officials said.

The explosion partially destroyed Bab al-Toob police station in central Mosul, 225 miles northwest of Baghdad, an Associated Press reporter at the scene said. The blast happened at about 6:30 a.m. in a busy shopping district that includes a market.

Policeman Mohammed Hussein Ali, 30, said he witnessed the attack in which a man who seemed to be driving watermelons to the market detonated his pickup truck just outside the two-story building.

All the roads were blocked at the time except for one that leads to the market, and the pickup truck was allowed to pass through a checkpoint, he said. The bomber detonated the explosive near a rear wall adjacent to the station.
