| [Iran Press TV Latest] At least 10 Iraqis have been killed and another 19 wounded when bombs exploded in two buses near the southern city of Kut, police says. Women and children were among the victims of the attacks on Monday, according to an AFP report. "Sticky bombs were attached to two buses and 10 people were killed," police lieutenant Mohammed Fadhil said. "Nineteen people were wounded." The first bomb exploded around 15 kilometers (nine miles) north of Kut, causing eight deaths and leaving eight wounded, he added. According to Fadhil, the second blast occurred half an hour later about 40 kilometers north of the city, the regional capital of Wasit Province, leaving two dead and 11 wounded. The explosions came less than a week after two massive truck bombs left at least 95 people dead and about 600 wounded in Baghdad. |
