| DIALA / Aswat al-Iraq: Nine people were killed in a car bomb blast in central Baaquba district on Friday, according to a local police source in Diala. “Nine were wounded within an initial count of casualties from an earlier car bomb attack near the Firefighting & Civil Defense Department in New Baaquba neighborhood, in the central part of the district,” the source told Aswat al-Iraq news agency. The New Baaquba neighborhood has been the scene for several attacks during the past years, the recent of which was in mid-August, when a car bomb blast went off near a vehicle of the Diala governor’s guards, leaving two killed and four others wounded. Baaquba, the capital city of the troubled province of Diala, lies 57 km northeast of Baghdad. |
