Just as a newly-weds convoy was passing, a bomb exploded at a street in Jablah town in southern Baghdad, the source said, noting the wounded civilians were transported to a near by hospital.

Iraqi police said in a statement that they found and foiled two booby trapped busses in the areas Boaythiya and Raay in southern Baghdad.

In a separate development, Iraqi police and the UK Embassy said today that two British diplomats survived a bomb explosion that targeted their convoy in Baghdad in Mansoura area. The embassy said that two guards were wounded in the explosion without revealing the identity of the diplomats.

#1  What quaint customs. We in the west normally just throw rice at the couple. Leave it to muzzies oneupmanship...they throw grenades at the ceremonies. Gets lots more attention.
