Five Iraqis killed, three wounded in Baghdad bakery attack
Five Iraqis were killed and three others were wounded on Friday when militants attacked a bakery in Sayidiya, southern Baghdad. An Interior Ministry source told KUNA that four bakers and a policeman were killed in the attack, adding that the militants planted an explosive device by the bakery and were able to escape before the arrival of a patrol vehicle, following which the explosion took place. Militants had attacked tens of Baghdad bakeries in the past, killing and wounding dozens of people.
In the north of Iraq, a road-side bomb blew up in an industrial zone south of the city of Kirkuk on Friday wounding three civilians, a police source said. Separately, a military vehicle of the Iraqi Army turned over in Kirkuk killing an Iraqi soldier and wounding four others.
