A roadside bomb exploded in southeastern Baghdad today near two minibuses
carrying passengers, killing three civilians and wounding five others, an
Interior Ministry source said.
"A roadside bomb explosion occurred in the
morning near two minibuses carrying passengers while traveling in the al-Ameen
neighborhood, killing three civilians and injuring five others," the source told
Xinhua on condition of anonymity.
The powerful blast caused damages to the
minibuses and several nearby shops and civilian cars, the source said.
Iraqi
security forces sealed off the area while ambulances transported the casualties
to nearby hospitals, he added.
Sporadic attacks continue in Baghdad despite
the earlier US and Iraqi officials' announcement of a relative lull during the
past few months.
