Attacks kill five in Iraq
AFP - 1 hour 30 minutes ago
BAGHDAD (AFP) - - At least five Iraqis were killed and scores were injured on Christmas day attacks in Iraq, the government and the US military said.
Most of the deaths occurred in a car bomb attack in the predominantly Shiite district of Shola in northeastern Baghdad, officials from the interior and defence ministries told AFP.
"Four people were killed and 13 wounded when a car bomb that was parked on the side of the road blew up," an interior ministry official said, adding that women were among the wounded.
The American military said in a statement, however, that only one person was killed and 21 were injured, among them a policeman, in the Shola blast.
Also Thursday, a bomb exploded in the Shiite neighborhood of Kadhimiyah in western Baghdad, the US military said.
"A civilian was killed. Eleven civilians and three policemen were wounded in the attack," it said.
Elsewhere in the conflict-ridden country, a suicide driver targetting an American patrol blew up his vehicle 37 kilometres (23 miles) northeast of the dangerous central city of Baquba Thursday, wounding seven civilians, the US military said.
No further details of the attack were immediately available.
