BAGHDAD Ecco shoes australia sale , Oct. 27 (Xinhua) -- At least 11 security members were killed and some 25 others wounded in a suicide car bomb attack in Iraq's central Babil province, a provincial security source said on Monday.
In early hours of Monday, a suicide bomber blew up an Humvee packed with explosives at a checkpoint manned by security forces and Shiite militia in al-Farsiyah area north of the town of Jurf al-Sakhar, some 60 km south of Baghdad, a security source from Babil province told Xinhua on condition of anonymity.
The Humvee was likely seized earlier from defeated government troops on June 10 after the Iraqi security forces abandoned their bases following the blitzkrieg of the Islamic State (IS) group across Iraq in which the al-Qaida offshoot and other Sunni militant groups seized large swathes of territories in predominantly Sunni provinces.
The attack came two days after the security forces backed by some 6,000 Shiite militia and Iraqi aircraft freed the town of Jurf al-Sakhar and seven nearby areas cheap Ecco shoes australia , including al-Farsiyah, which stretch to the northwest desert leading to the battle-field town of Ameriyat al-Fallujah, some 40 km west of Baghdad.

Ameriyat al-Fallujah, located some 60 km north of the Shiite holy city of Karbala, is the last major town ahead of Baghdad that is under government control.
If the militants seize Ameriyat al-Fallujah they will be closer to the Iraqi capital and will also be able to move closer to Karbala, some 108 km south of Baghdad Ecco shoes australia online , and pound them with artillery and mortars.

For Chinese students, school is about hard work, forming friendships that often last a lifetime and wearing some of the ugliest clothes they will never put on.
Many middle school graduates have shared their feelings about China's school uniforms on social media after the entrance examinations for college and high school ended in June.
The hashtag "showing the most beautiful school uniforms in China" on Sina Weibo has garnered more than 88 million page views, while "are Chinese school uniforms really ugly" has earned over 140 million page views as of press time.
Students reached by the Global Times also complained their uniforms are too "sporty" and are poorly-made.
Wang Dingdong, an official with the Beijing Municipal Commission of Education Men's ECCO Jack Tie MOON ROCK WARM GREY Australia , previously told the Beijing Times that most primary and middle school uniforms in the city lack any kind of local details and are baggy, unstylish and unsightly.
Too genderless?
The most complained-about part of school uniform designs is that they make boys and girls look exactly the same, with many joking that the only difference between boys' uniforms and girls' is their size.
According photos posted on Sina Weibo, many middle schools provide similar uniforms for boys and girls, with, at most ECCO BIOM Venture GTX Men's Shoes Black Australia , some slight differences such as their color. Very few, mostly art and private schools, provide skirts for girls.
Students' and workers' uniforms have been genderless for decades in China, Li Yinhe, a leading Chinese sexologist with the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, told the Global Times.
However Men's ECCO Yucatan Sandals TARMAC Black Australia , the aesthetic of young people's cloth has changed from a fixed standard that favors collectivity and unity in the 1950s to more inclusive fashions that highlight diversity, said Li.
She added that ensuring that students can make choices about what they wear is especially important for teenagers, who are experiencing a critical period in which they form their gender consciousness and self-identity.
The sexless style of uniforms to some degree reflects the educational authorities' fear of sex and the female body, which has traditionally been seen as threatening and hard to control, Yang Jianfeng, a professor with the Shanghai University of Sport Men's ECCO Intrinsic Sandals Black Australia , wrote in a commentary of Guangming Daily published in September 2015.
