Suicide car bomb kills 12 in Baghdad market
BAGHDAD - A suicide car bomb exploded near a market in Baghdad on Thursday, killing 12 people. The blast, which police said also wounded 56 people, followed a series of suicide bomb attacks on Wednesday that killed at least 71 people. Flames and black smoke rose skywards over mangled market stalls and cars in the mostly Shi'ite Muslim New Baghdad district after the blast. Frantic young men, some crying, pushed wooden carts carrying charred bodies of women and men. "There are families in the building. Most of them are wounded," an ambulance worker yelled over a mobile telephone.Posted by: Steve White 2005-05-12 |
