West Baghdad suicide bomb kills four
[Al Ahram] A jacket wallah detonated explosives inside a cafe in a predominantly-Shia neighbourhood in west Baghdad on Sunday evening, killing at least four people, security and medical officials said. The evening attack struck inside the cafe in the Washash neighbourhood, a police officer and a medical source said, leaving at least 12 others maimed. The blast was a rare bombing in recent days in the Iraqi capital, which has endured a tense calm as security forces and murderous Moslems have focused their resources north and west of Baghdad, with a jihadist-led offensive having overrun swathes of five provinces. Iraqi forces initially wilted when faced with the myrmidon onslaught, which began late on June 9, but have since performed more capably, albeit with few gains in offensive operations.
