Summary The bombing at the school collapsed the roof of the building.
KIRKUK (AFP) - Two suicide bombers detonated explosives-rigged vehicles at a police station and a nearby primary school in northern Iraq on Sunday, killing at least 10 people, a local official said.
The blasts in the Turkmen Shiite village of Qabat, near the Syrian border, also wounded dozens of people, Abdulal Abbas told AFP.
The bombing at the school collapsed the roof of the building, Abbas said.
The blasts came a day after violence including an attack on Shiite pilgrims in Baghdad and a suicide bombing at a cafe north of the capital killed at least 73 people.
Two journalists from the Sharqiya television channel were also gunned down in the northern city of Mosul on Saturday.
In Iraq, almost nothing is safe from attack by militants, who have struck highly-secured targets such as prisons, and also bombed cafes, markets, mosques, football fields, weddings and funerals.
Violence has reached a level unseen since 2008, and there are persistent fears that Iraq will relapse into the kind of intense Sunni-Shiite bloodshed that peaked in 2006-2007 and killed tens of thousands of people.
Diplomats and analysts say the Shiite-led government's failure to address the grievances of the Sunni Arab minority -- which complains of political exclusion and abuses by security forces -- has driven the spike in unrest.
Violence worsened sharply after security forces stormed a Sunni Arab anti-government protest camp in northern Iraq on April 23, sparking clashes in which dozens of people were killed.
The authorities have made some concessions aimed at placating anti-government protesters and Sunnis in general, such as freeing prisoners and raising the salaries of Sunni anti-Qaeda fighters, but underlying issues have yet to be addressed.
The latest violence takes this month's death toll to more than 140, and more than 4,850 since the beginning of the year, according to AFP figures based on security and medical sources.
