UN envoy killed in Baghdad blast
The UN's top envoy in Iraq has been killed after a suspected suicide bomber in a truck set off a massive explosion that tore through the organisation's headquarters in Baghdad.
At least 16 people, including Sergio Vieira de Mello, died and scores more were injured in the attack.
One UN official said a yellow cement truck crashed into the building and blew up, sending a huge cloud of smoke into the sky over the Iraqi capital.
A top US official said there was evidence to suggest a suicide bomber had carried out the attack, which blew out windows as far as a mile away.
US President George Bush, speaking from his ranch in Texas, called the attackers "enemies of the civilised world".
