Bombings in Baghdad, Mosul kill at least 49
Ten cars rigged with explosives detonated in Shi'ite Muslim areas in and around Baghdad Oct. 27 , and a suicide bomber attacked soldiers lined up for their pay in northern Iraq, killing 49 people in total, police said. Sunday's deadliest attack happened in Mosul, when a man driving a car blew himself up outside a government bank where soldiers were waiting to collect their salaries. Twelve people were killed. 37 more people died in seemingly coordinated blasts in and around Baghdad. In the worst of those, two car bombs blew up moments apart near a busy market in the town of Nahrawan, south of Baghdad, killing seven. In Baladiyat, where another car bomb killed three people, eyewitness Suad Ahmed said, "I was eating my breakfast when a powerful blast shook the building, shattering the window of my apartment and covering the dining table with pieces of glass. I was terrified, I heard women and children shouting next door. I started to cry. I was afraid of death." Posted by: ryuge 2013-10-27 |
