2 Bombings Kill 6+ People, 20 Injured. Shiite Governor Killed

Good morning,

BAGHDAD - A roadside bomb Monday killed the governor of the predominantly Shiite Muthanna province, police said, the second assassination of a top provincial official in just over a week.

Police blamed the Mahdi Army, which is nominally loyal to radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr and has been involved in several recent clashes with its political rivals.

Two bombings also struck the Shiite district of Sadr City and a busy market district elsewhere in Baghdad, killing at least six people and wounding more than 20.

Have a nice day.
