Up to 14 Iraqis were killed and 15 others were injured Saturday in a car bomb explosion on a roadway near a market in Diyala bridge area in northeast the Iraqi capital Baghdad. An Iraqi police source told KUNA that a booby-trapped vehicle parked near the Diyala bridge area blew up killing 11 Iraqis, including women, and wounding 15 others. The source denied reports that the explosion was targeting an Iraqi police patrol. Eyewitnesses indicated that the victims and wounded were rushed to hospital while the police sealed-off the scene. According to a source in the Ministry of Interior, the death toll of the explosion rose from 11 to 14 and the injured are now reported to number 18.
