| Bomb hidden in trash kills two in Baghdad |
| 2009-12-10 |
| [Dawn] A bomb hidden in a garbage heap killed two people in northern Baghdad, an Iraqi police official said. The official said the blast occurred Wednesday at about 8 a.m. as street sweepers were cleaning in the Sunni neighbourhood of Azamiyah. He said two street sweepers were killed and three passers-by were wounded. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to release the information. The explosion comes a day after a series of bombings targeted government buildings in Baghdad, killing at least 127 people and wounding more than 500. Lawmakers have called top security officials to appear in parliament to answer questions over security lapses. Meanwhile, funerals were starting in Baghdad for the bombing victims. |
