IRAQ: Separate car bombs in Baghdad kill two Iraqi soldiers and a ciivlian

Two Iraqi soldiers were killed when a bomb planted inside a car already containing a body exploded on Saturday (September 16) in central Baghdad, police said. The explosion near Al-Talae' Square also wounded three soldiers. "Police and army patrols headed to the car to recover a corpse which was left inside, but before arriving at the site the car exploded," said traffic policeman Nasser Saleh. A suicide car bomber killed one civilian and wounded 22 outside a well-fortified police station in Baghdad's southern district of Al-Doura. The wounded were taken to Baghdad's main hospital, Yarmouk. Police also said on Saturday morning that 47 more bodies had been found in the previous 24 hours in the city, most of them bound, tortured and shot in the head; 26 victims were discovered in the mainly Sunni western part of the capital and 21 in eastern Baghdad's predominantly Shi'ite side. That took the total of such killings in the capital to nearly 180 in four days.
