Double Car bomb kills 9 in Mosul
2009-07-09
[Iran Press TV Latest] Two car bombs have exploded within minutes of each other in the Iraqi city of Mosul, killing nine people and wounding 29.

The first bomb detonated in a residential area of northern Mosul, home to the minority Shabaks, wounding seven, Reuters reported.

According to the local police, the second car bomb went off about 10 minutes later near a mosque in the Bawiza district, another Shabak area, killing nine people and wounding 22 others.

The Wednesday attacks come just two days after another car bomb explosion in the northern Iraqi city.

10 people were wounded in Monday's car bomb attack; a week after US forces withdrew from Iraqi cities and handed over the security to Iraqi national forces.
