13 Killed In Dual Car Bombings
Good Morning,
A police officer, speaking on condition of anonymity because of security concerns, said two cars exploded near a fuel station in Baghdad's Mansour neighborhood. The blast set fire to the station.
Hours later, firefighters doused at least six smoldering cars as Iraqi soldiers and civilians circled the wreckage. AP Television News video showed pools of blood and scattered fuel containers. Nearby, tea cups lay toppled on a blanket spread over wood crates.
A woman in a black Muslim veil sat weeping on a curb outside Yarmouk hospital, where victims were taken. The wounded lay on stretchers crowded in the hallway inside.
On Wednesday, Maj. Gen. William B. Caldwell said there had been a "downturn" in violence during Eid al-Adha, a major Muslim festival. The holiday began last weekend, and Thursday was the first day after Eid for both Sunnis and Shiites. Caldwell acknowledged the possibility that violence could surge again.
Have a nice day.
