26 Killed, 54 Wounded

Good Morning,

A suicide bomber struck in the central neighborhood of Karradah, the second to hit the area in three days. At least three policemen were among the 26 dead from the latest bombing and 54 people were wounded, police and hospital officials said.

Angry Shiite residents took to the streets chanting, "We want the Sunnis out!" There is a small Christian and Sunni population in that section of the city.

The blast destroyed three minivans, 11 cars and dozens of shops, as well as the neighborhood's post office, according to a resident.

Have a nice day.
