| 2006-05-25 |
| At least 11 people were killed on Tuesday in attacks, including a car bombing on a busy Baghdad street, in renewed violence during the first week of Iraq's new cabinet, which had set restoring security as its top priority. An interior ministry source said that the car bomb in the southeastern suburb of Baghdad, al-Jadeeda, targeting a police patrol killed five people and wounded seven others. The suburb had been repeatedly hit for the past three days. Police said that three-day labourers on their way to work were killed after gunmen in a car raked their mini-bus with bullets on the road from Baquba to Khalis, northeast of the capital. In Balad Ruz, a bomb went off near the courthouse, killing a 10-year-old boy and wounding two others. In Baghdad, professor Ali Hussein Ali was walking on Palestine Street in the east of the city on his way to work at Technology University after a car filled with gunmen shot him dead and drove off. An industry ministry employee was shot dead in a similar attack on the same street. On Monday night, Shi'ite city council member Saleh Mahdi Jabr from the restive mixed Sunni-Shi'ite town of Salman Pak was mowed down by gunfire outside his home. |
