Iraq: Bomb explodes in central Baghdad
2009-07-04
[ADN Kronos] An Iraqi soldier was killed and ten others were wounded when a bomb exploded in central Baghdad on Thursday, a police source said.

"An explosive device went off Thursday on the main road in al-Karada region in central Baghdad while an Iraqi army vehicle patrol was passing, killing a soldier and injuring ten as well as damaging one of the patrol's vehicles," the source told the news agency, Voices of Iraq.

"Security forces cordoned off the region, while ambulances rushed the wounded to a nearby hospital," he added.

The attack occurred only two days after the withdrawal of US troops from Iraqi cities according to the security agreement signed between the two countries on December 13, 2008.

#1  Sunni terrorists identify Iraqi soldiers based in Baghdad, as part of the new Shiite majority. That might explain the bombing.
