KIRKUK, Iraq, April 2 (Reuters) - A big truck bomb exploded in the northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk on Monday, police said, adding there were dead and wounded. Police said the blast, near a government office, echoed across the city. They had no other details. Insurgents have increasingly used truck bombs in attacks in recent months. A truck bomb in the northern town of Tal Afar last Tuesday killed 152 people, making it the deadliest single insurgent attack of the four-year-old war.
