Three Iraqis killed in S. Baghdad blast
(KUNA) -- Three Iraqis were killed Monday morning when an explosive device was detonated in southern Baghdad. A police source told KUNA the explosive device was planted by the side of a road and blew up as a convoy of Shiite pilgrims was heading to the city of Karbala to mark the anniversary of the death of Imam Al-Hussein. Three Iraqis were killed and at least ten others suffered wounds of different severity and had to be hospitalized. A suicide explosion had claimed the lives of 40 Iraqis yesterday and wounded some 60 others, after a bomber detonated an explosive belt at a convoy of Shiite pilgrims in Alexandria village, southern Baghdad.
