WASHINGTON, Oct 28 (AFP) - US President George W. Bush said Tuesday that he believes Baathists and foreign terrorists are behind the recent wave of bombings that have struck Iraq.

"I would assume that they are either, or and probably both Baathists and foreign terrorists," Bush said during a White House press conference.

The US president spoke shortly after a pickup truck exploded in Fallujah, Iraq, Tuesday killing at least six people, and one day after a wave of car bombs killed some 43 people in the Iraqi capital.
