Brazen attack shows insurgent strength in Iraq oil province

Residents transfer the bodies of bomb attack victims to a hospital in Tikrit on January 18, 2011, after a suicide bomber wearing a vest filled with explosives attacked Iraqi police recruits. In Salahaddin province, local government officials, security forces, and oil infrastructure - as well as ordinary citizens - continue to suffer from insurgent violence. On Tuesday, the photographer who took this picture was among the victims when a team of attackers murdered 55 people at the provincial council headquarters in Tikrit. (SABAH AL-BAZEE/Reuters)
