At least five Iraqis have been killed in clashes in Ramadi, a doctor in a city hospital said. The doctor Iyad Muhammad said they included three brothers who were killed on Wednesday in their car by a roadside bomb planted to target US patrols.

In other incidents on Wednesday, at least 12 people including a US soldier were killed in a string of attacks in Baghdad. At least four people were killed when a car bomb ripped through a residential neighbourhood, sending body parts hurtling onto the roof of nearby houses, the interior ministry said. Three mutilated bodies were seen covered in white and green cloth near to where the blast occurred down a small side street flanked by low-level apartments in southeast Baghdad.

"The car does not belong to anyone in the neighbourhood. Someone came, put it there and left," said Hashim Hussein, 28, who lives in the area. "There were five men standing in the street next to the car who are the victims of the explosion which was very powerful to the extent that body parts were thrown to the roof of the neighbouring houses," said Hussein. |
