BAGHDAD, Aug 29 (Reuters) - A car bomb killed six people and wounded 20 others in northern Iraq on Saturday, police said, in the second such attack of the day. The attack took place in the town of Sinjar, 390 km (240 miles) northwest of Baghdad, which is home to Yazidis, members of a pre-Islamic Kurdish sect. At least 21 people were killed in two suicide attacks in Sinjar earlier this month, part of a wave of violence that has hit ethnically and religiously mixed northern Nineveh province. Earlier on Saturday, at least nine people were killed in a suicide car bomb in another town in northern Iraq.
