Three bombs hit Baghdad outdoor market, five killed
[Iran Press TV] At least five people have been killed after three roadside kabooms destroyed a busy outdoor market in the Iraqi capital, Storied Baghdad....located along the Tigris River, founded in the 8th century, home of the Abbasid Caliphate... Dozens of others were also maimed in the early morning blasts targeting a pet market in in Hussainiya area, northeast Storied Baghdad, on Friday. "The three bombs went kaboom!almost at the same time. After I heard one of the kabooms, I found myself in hospital with shrapnel in my hands, legs and head," said Ahmed Kareem at Sadr City General Hospital. The attack came hours after a kaboom at a restaurant in southeast Storied Baghdad killed five people. Nearly 100 people were killed by kabooms at two other pet markets in Storied Baghdad in 2008. There has been a rise in violence in Iraq since US troops left the country in December, 2011, leaving hundreds of Iraqis, among them police and security personnel, dead. It is widely believed that the increasing attacks are part of an anti-Iraq plot to show that the Storied Baghdad government is incapable of protecting Iraqis. Posted by: Fred 2012-05-19 |
