BAGHDAD, Iraq - A suicide attacker detonated a car bomb near a U.S. military camp in Baghdad on Sunday, killing 12 people and wounding 13, the military said. The explosion took place as a police patrol was passing about 300 yards in front of Camp Curvo, which is run by the 1st Calvary Division. The blast went off just after the officers had stopped the bomber, who was traveling in the wrong direction on the road.

Lt. Col. James Hutton, the spokesman for the 1st Cavalry Division, said 12 were killed and 13 were wounded in the blast. He said there were no U.S. casualties.

Among the dead are four policemen and the bomber, said police Capt. Abdul-Razzaq Kadhem.

"I think this is the last gasp of the terrorists," Kadhem said. "Iraq (news - web sites) will not die. We will survive this, we will survive this."
