2006-10-24
(KUNA) - At least three Iraqi persons were killed including a policeman and 13 others were wounded on Monday when a bomb went off near a crowd of civilians in Bab Al-sheikh district, Baghdad, in the first days of Eid Al-Fitr. The explosion killed two civilians and a policeman, while 13 others sustained various injures, an Iraqi Interior Ministry official told Kuna here.

The explosion also damaged a number of shops and two civilian cars as well as a police vehicle in the site, the source added. Earlier in the day the Iraqi security services declared a maximum alert to guarantee security of the citizens during Eid Al-Fitr Holiday, according to spokesman of Iraqi Interior Ministry General Abdul-Karim Khalaf. This is the first terrorist attack in Eid Al-Fitr against armless civilians in a crowded area in the Iraqi capital.
