| BAGHDAD: A roadside bomb and a car bomb exploded in the Iraqi capital Baghdad on Thursday, killing 5 civilians and wounding 27 people, police and hospital sources said. The roadside blast happened in the Sadr city area and targeted an Iraqi army checkpoint. The car bomb exploded in the Hurriya district and appeared to be aimed at a passing police patrol. Six members of the security forces were among the wounded, police sources said. Last week at least 36 people were killed and almost 150 wounded by more than 20 bombings that were claimed by Al-QaedaÂ’s affiliate in the country. |
