| (KUNA) -- Five people were killed and 30 others injured on Thursday in a bomb car explosion at a marketplace in central Kirkuk, north of Iraq, the Iraqi police said. Kirkuk Police Chief Brigadier Sarhad Qader told Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) that a bomb car exploded in Al-Jumhuria Street at a marketplace in the northern Iraqi City of Kirkuk, leaving five dead and 30 others wounded. Kirkuk has recently witnessed serial bomb explosions, leading to the death and injury of some 250 people. Meanwhile, nine people were killed and 16 others, mostly women, wounded in a violent bomb car blast in Baghdad, an Iraqi police source said. The car bombing took place when a parked car bomb exploded near an intersection in the central Baghdad district of Karrada on Thursday, Iraqi police said. At least one building and several cars were ablaze after the blast in the predominantly Shi'ite district. Ambulances and fire engines were rushed to the explosion site while the Iraqi police sealed off the Karrada Street, where the car bombing occurred. |
