2006-07-28
(KUNA) -- The death toll of the series of explosions that rocked Al-Karrada district in Baghdad early Thursday was put at 25 and the number of wounded at 67. An interior ministry source told KUNA that two of the explosions were the result of two booby-trapped vehicles whereas the rest of the explosions were the result of bombs, missile and mortar shell attacks. The source indicated that the death toll is expected to rise as paramedics are trying to recover the bodies of the victims.

According to the police, the explosions occurred behind a leather workshop in Al-Jadiriya, one in Al-Attar Road, another in Al-Orzadi Road and one near a gasoline station. Strict security measures have been imposed following the attacks and checkpoints were set.
