Iraq Accident

At least 28 Pakistani pilgrims travelling to Iraq for a Shiite Muslim ritual were killed as their bus crashed in central Iran, state media reported early Wednesday.

At least six students were killed and 14 injured Tuesday when a truck ploughed into them on their way out of school in Iraq's southern province of Basra, authorities said.

Eleven people including nine schoolteachers died in a head-on road crash south of Baghdad as they returned from a Ramadan meal, Iraqi authorities said Saturday, blaming speed.

Almost 100 people, mostly women and children, died Thursday as a ferry packed with families celebrating Kurdish New Year sank in a swollen river in the former terrorist stronghold of Mosul, in Iraq's worst accident in years.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, on crutches after surgery on a broken leg, was briefed by his chief of staff, Jonathan Finer, in Boston on Thursday on issues related to Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Ukraine, Cuba and climate change, a spokeswoman said.

US Secretary of State John Kerry will fly home for treatment Monday after breaking his leg in a cycling accident in the French Alps, putting America's chief diplomat temporarily out of commission.
