Bombs in northern Baghdad kill 9

By QAIS AL-BASHIR, Associated Press Writer 1 hour, 20 minutes ago

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Two bombs exploded within minutes of each other in north Baghdad Wednesday, killing at least nine people and wounding 39, police said, a day after the president predicted the bloodshed would be mostly over by the end of next year.


The explosions, one a parked car bomb and another a roadside bomb, were targeting a passing Iraqi army patrol at a busy intersection during the morning rush hour as people headed to work, police 1st Lt. Mohammed Khayun said.

The car bomb had been parked in front of a tire repair shop, witness Abdel-Majeed Salah, a local resident, told AP television. He said a minibus with passengers on board had been behind the parked car when it detonated, and all on board had been killed.

Two of the dead and eight of the wounded were Iraqi soldiers, police said.
