NEAR-simultaneous explosions believed to have been caused by car bombs ripped through three police station in the southern Iraqi city of Basra today, killing at least 61 people and injuring some 200, a hospital source said.

 

At one station in the Saudia district of Basra, four vehicles were seen destroyed including two school buses. At least one of the school buses appeared to have been full of passengers, an Associated Press reporter at the scene said.

 

The facade of the Saudia station was also heavily damaged and there was a hole two meters deep and three meters wide in front of the Saudia station.

 

More than 60 people were killed and at least 200 injured in the blast, said Ali Hussein, an emergency physician at Basra's main hospital.

 

British military spokesman Squadron Leader Jonathan Arnold said the blasts were believed to have been caused by car bombs.
