Baghdad car bombs kill nine
A car bomb has exploded in the Baghdad al-Jidida neighbourhood killing three civillians and wounding seven others. A restaurant worker said the blast went off "right next to civilian pedestrians", but added he did not know whether the explosion was caused by a stationary or moving vehicle. Another roadside bomb then exploded next to a police patrol in a downtown neighbourhood, wounding six civilians. Police said the blast occurred near the National Theatre in the Karrada neighbourhood; an area that has been the persistent target of bombings and attacks. Some of the injured were taken to the al-Kindi Teaching Hospital in central Baghdad for treatment. The latest spate of violence comes just a day after three blasts killed at least 34 Iraqis in a suicide bombing in the Diyala province.
