10 Killed, 24 Wounded

Good Morning,

It has become a horrible statistic, but 40+ Iraqis lives are snuffed daily by the violence in that country. This blog reports only some of those deaths which are highlighted in the news.

Tank cannons boomed out over the Sadr City five times in rapid succession Wednesday afternoon, and U.S. F-16 jet fighters screamed low overhead as the conflict in Sadr City continued into the day.

Four people were killed and 18 wounded in overnight fighting in the overwhelmingly Shiite eastern district, according to Col. Khazim Abbas, a local police commander, and Qassim al-Suwaidi, director of the area's Imam Ali Hospital.

Scattered violence continued elsewhere in the country, with six people killed when a roadside bomb destroyed their vehicle in Balad Ruz, about 40 miles northeast of Baghdad. Other mortar and bomb attacks in the area wounded several people.

Have a nice day.
