Female suicide bomber kills 3 at Iraq hospital

A female suicide bomber blew herself up at a hospital west of Baghdad on Sunday, killing three people including a10-year-old girl and injuring five others, police and hospital officials said. Also Sunday, Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki met with his Cabinet for the first time since the U.S. delivered what it called its final reply to Iraqi requests for changes to a draft security agreement that would keep U.S. forces in the country until the end of 2011. Two women and the girl were killed in the suicide attack in Amiriyat al-Fallujah in Anbar province near the city of Fallujah, about 40 miles (65 kilometers) west of Baghdad, said the officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release the information to the media. A doctor at the hospital and her husband were among the wounded.
