In a similar car kaboom in Storied Baghdad's western district of Mansour, nine people were killed and 26 others were maimed. Five more people were killed and 18 others injured in a kaboom in central Storied Baghdad. Elsewhere, in the town of Mishahda, situated 30 kilometers (20 miles) north of Storied Baghdad, three civilians and two coppers were killed and 11 people were maimed after an car bomb went kaboom!at a checkpoint.
