 A roadside bomb targeting an Iraqi police patrol detonated Sunday afternoon in southeast Baghdad, killing two civilians and wounding five others and two police officers, Baghdad police told CNN. Earlier, two bodies with bullet wounds and no identification were found in a Shiite neighborhood in northwest Baghdad. Police said they assumed the men were Shiite because they were wearing the black clothes Shiites traditionally wear during Muharram, the period of mourning for Imam Hussein before the coming religious holiday of Ashura, which commemorates his death. Four other bodies, which had been blindfolded and shot in the back of the head, were found Sunday night by police in a western Baghdad neighborhood, dumped near a highway, police said. The bodies had no identification. Also Sunday afternoon, a roadside bomb detonated in western Baquba on an Iraqi army patrol, wounding four soldiers. |
