Iraqi police: Car bomb in Baghdad kills 3
Tuesday, September 30, 2008 | No comments posted.
BAGHDAD (AP) — A parked car bomb targeted a restaurant in a mostly Shiite neighborhood in Baghdad today, killing three people and injuring eight others.
The attack occurred as the country’s Sunnis marked the start of the Eid al-Fitr holiday, which ends the fasting month of Ramadan, by filling mosques in greater numbers than in previous years due to a drop in violence.
The bomb exploded around 3 p.m. as customers were eating at a kebab restaurant in Karradah, a commercial neighborhood in eastern Baghdad, two police officers said on condition of anonymity.
