Bomb detonates near Kadamiyah Shrine; kills five, wounds 27
2007-08-26
At approximately noon, five Iraqi civilians were killed and 27 others wounded when a car bomb detonated at a busy intersection near the Kadamiyah Shrine in northern Baghdad, Aug. 25.

Iraqi Army soldiers and Iraq emergency service workers responded to the scene, providing security and aid to the injured. A patrol from the 1st Battalion, 235th Airborne Infantry Regiment, attached to the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division, also arrived at the blast site and questioned Iraqi Army personnel and civilians in the area. Iraqi Army troops concluded the explosion was caused from an improvised explosive devise placed underneath a vehicle parked in the area. Several Iraqi civilian vehicles and vendorÂ’s stand were destroyed from the blast. Buildings in the surrounding area also sustained minor damage. The wounded were transported to a local hospital for treatment.
