Baghdad car bomb kills nine, wounds 30: official
Sun Nov 25, 2007 5:40am EST
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A suicide car bomb killed nine
people near the Iraqi Health Ministry in central
Baghdad on Sunday, security spokesman
Brigadier-General Qassim Moussawi said.
Moussawi said 30 people were wounded by the bomb,
which detonated near street vendors close to the
ministry building. Police had earlier put the toll at
two dead and 15 wounded.
Separately, a roadside bomb wounded two civilians in
the Waziriya district of northern Baghdad, police
said. A second roadside bomb exploded when Iraqi
security forces arrived on the scene, killing one
soldier and wounding six others, police said.
Overall attacks have dropped sharply in Baghdad in
recent months after a build-up of U.S. troops this
year.
But U.S. commanders have cautioned that militants have
not been defeated, and there has been a upsurge in
attacks in the past week in Baghdad. At least 13
people were killed on Friday when a bomb exploded in a
popular pet market in the capital.
