| [Dawn] A roadside bomb blast and a gun attack killed four people and wounded seven others in Baghdad, Iraqi officials said. The officials said the roadside bomb went off Friday morning near a market in Baghdad's teeming Shia district of Sadr City. The explosion killed three people and wounded seven. The officials said the bomb was hidden under a heap of trash and detonated as shoppers started arriving. In the second attack, gunmen shot dead an Iraqi soldier in southern Baghdad after breaking into his house. The police and hospital officials spoke on condition of anonymity. The attacks come as Iraq is still counting the ballots from the March 7 parliamentary elections. |
