Al-Qaeda Klaim Serangan Bom di Kementerian Kehakiman Irak Senin, 18 Maret 2013 | 00:42 WIB REUTERS/Atef Hassan/ip Metrotvnews.com, Baghdad: Kelompok Al-Qaeda di Irak hari Minggu (17/3) menyatakan bertanggung jawab atas serangan terkoordinasi bom bunuh diri dan penembakan di kementerian kehakiman yang menewaskan sedikitnya 25 orang pekan lalu di pusat kota Baghdad. Serangan itu, yang terjadi di dekat Zona Hijau dengan penjagaan ketat yang merupakan lokasi sejumlah kedutaan besar Barat dan kantor pemerintah, meningkatkan kekhawatiran mengenai keamanan rapuh Irak satu dasawarsa setelah invasi menggulingkan Saddam Hussein. Kedutaan Besar RI juga berada di kawasan itu. Tetapi dikabarkan tidak ada warga negara Indonesia yang menjadi korban serangan bom itu.

Last Modified: 17 Mar 2013 13:39 inShare At least nine people were killed in the blast at the bus station in the town of Garmat Ali [Reuters] A car bomb has exploded at a bus terminal in the southern Iraqi province of Basra, killing at least nine people, police said, in what appeared to be the latest in a series of sectarian attacks. The bomb exploded in the predominantly Shia town of Garmat Ali on Sunday. "I was thrown back by the explosion. Then I stood up and ran back to help the victims," said bus driver Hameed Salman. "I carried five bodies myself and put them in some civilian cars to take them to the hospital," he added. Three police sources said nine people were killed. The head of the provincial security committee, Ali Ghanim al-Maliki, put the death toll at 10. Also on Sunday, another car bomb went off in a car park for government offices in the city of Basra, wounding two people, police said. Violence has increased with the swell of opposition to the government and Iraq's al Qaeda affiliate has urged people to take up arms. Security experts say al Qaeda-linked fighters have been regrouping in the western province of Anbar. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
