At Least 34 Killed in Three Bombings in Baghdad

-




At least 23 people were killed and at least 50 were wounded in three bombings in eastern Baghdad on Saturday, security officials said, hours before the government was to lift a long-standing nighttime curfew on the capital. The first blast occurred in the Shi'ite neighborhood of New Baghdad leaving 22 dead and the second one targeted the bustling Sharqa market district killing 10. A third bomb killed two and wounded another seven. The interior ministry spokesman Brigadier General Saad Maan said he did not believe the blasts were linked to the decision to lift the curfew. http://yhoo.it/1LZCnzu http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ

This is a treat."     Related articles Rare saber-...
