Iraqi
officials say a car bomb explosion in Baghdad has killed at least 10
people and wounded several others. The blast ripped through a crowd
outside a bakery in the mainly Sunni Dora neighborhood in southern
Baghdad Tuesday.
Iraqi officials also say 60 bodies have been found in the Baghdad
area in the past day, all with gunshot wounds and some showing signs
of torture, likely the latest victims of sectarian death squads.
South of Baghdad, a roadside bomb killed two Iraqi policemen in
Mussayab, while a policeman was gunned down near Hillah. A police
official was shot and killed in the northern city of Mosul.
The U.S military says Iraqi and coalition forces killed 11
militants in a clash Monday near a mosque in Diwaniyah, the southern
town which has been the scene of recent heavy fighting between
troops and insurgents. |
