Baghdad - A truck exploded Tuesday, leaving at least one person dead and 25 injured in Iraq's northern Nineveh province, a security source said.
The spokesman of Nineveh's security operations told the Voices of Iraq news agency that a suicide bomber was driving the truck near the house of Sunni sheikh Abdel Razaq al-Wakaa, the head of the Jubour tribe, one of Iraq's largest tribes.
He added that al-Wakaa and his wife were among the injured.
The source said the death toll is expected to rise.
