Blasts kill 20, injure 38 in Iraq after Zarqawi's death
2006-06-09
A blast in southern Baghdad killed 20 and injured 38 civilians on Thursday after announcing the death of the leader of Al-Qaeda terrorist group in Iraq, Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi. In a press statement, an Interior Ministry source said the blasts were caused by bombs planted in a flea market in Baghdad Al-Jadidah district. The injured, he added, included a number of women.

In Kirkuk, Iraqi police found the bodies of two Iraqis in the city's western and southern districts. Speaking to KUNA, a police source said the first body belonged to a 38-year-old merchant named Mahmoud Abdullah Salamah and the other belonged to a civilian who was kidnapped on Wednesday. While two blasts took place without any casualties, a Multi-National Force (MNF) patrol was attacked with a rocket launcher but the size of damage has not been reported.
