| 2008-12-17 |
| (AKI) - Three civilians were wounded on Tuesday in a car bomb attack that targeted the motorcade of Iraq's Science and Technology Minister Raed Fahmy in southern Baghdad, a police source said. "A car crammed with explosives went off near the Babel Hotel in southern Baghdad, targeting the motorcade of the Science and Technology Minister Raed Fahmy, injuring three persons, including one of the minister's bodyguards," a source told Iraqi news agency, Voices of Iraq. "The blast caused material damage to a number of nearby buildings," he noted. In a separate attack on Tuesday, six people were wounded in an explosion that ripped through Baghdad's al-Andalus square, according to a security source. The attack appeared to target an Iraqi military patrol. Security forces sealed off the area immediately after the blast and took the wounded to nearby hospitals. |
