53 Killed In Ongoing Violence

Good Day,

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Bombs exploded on a soccer field Wednesday killing 11 young people, and at least 42 other people _ two of them Americans _ died elsewhere in sectarian or political violence. Still, the president said plans are on track for Iraqis to take over security.

The two homemade bombs went off on a soccer field in the mostly Shiite district of Amil in west Baghdad, killing both players and spectators ranging in age from 15 to 25, police 1st Lt. Maitham Abdul Razzaq said.

Two mortar shells struck another Shiite district, Abu Dshir, killing three people under age 15, police Capt. Firas Queti said. One shell exploded on a soccer field and the other hit a house, wounding a couple and their child, he said.

Have a nice day.
