BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- A triple bombing in Baghdad has killed more than two
dozen people and wounded scores more in the deadliest attack in the Iraqi
capital in almost four months.
Nine-year-old Abdulla Mohammed who was hurt in the attacks is helped by a
medic in a hospital in Baghdad.
The Interior Ministry reported at least 30 dead and 70 wounded in the
strikes, and the Health Ministry reported at least 28 dead and more than 60
wounded. Iraqis say it was the deadliest attack in the capital city in
almost four months.
The U.S. military is reporting lower casualty figures -- eight dead and 48
wounded.
The casualties in Baghdad occurred when two bombs in parked cars exploded
early in the day at Kasrah market in the Adhamiya neighborhood, a ministry
official said.
When a crowd gathered around the wrecked cars, a bomber wearing an explosive
vest detonated in their midst, the official said.
Abbas Fadhil said he was working in a nearby restaurant that was damaged in
the blasts.
"I rushed to the site and saw several girl students trapped in a bus and
screaming for help. We took the girls outside the bus and rushed them to the
hospitals," he told The Associated Press.
Associated Press Television News video showed the minibus damaged by
shrapnel with the floor soaked in blood. Girls' shoes lay scattered amid the
wreckage.
Ahmed Riyadh, 54, owner of a nearby grocery, described it as a "vicious
attack" that "did not differentiate between Shiites and Sunnis."
Adhamiya is a Sunni neighborhood, but the Kasrah district is predominantly
populated by Shiites. As such, the area is controlled by Iraqi security
forces and not an Awakening Council.
Awakening councils are mainly made up of former Sunni insurgents who turned
against al Qaeda and are credited for being one of the main factors that
helped reduce violence in the country.
Among the victims of the Monday morning attack were two police officers,
four Iraqi soldiers, five women and a number of students, the ministry
official said.
Several soldiers and police personnel were also wounded in the blasts.
On July 28, three female suicide bombers attacked Shiite pilgrims killing at
least 32 people and wounding 102 others in the Kadhimiya district in
northwestern Baghdad.
Attackers also struck in northern Iraq on Monday. A female suicide bomber
killed four people and wounded at least 18 others in Baquba, about 60
kilometers (35 miles) north of Baghdad, Iraq's Interior Ministry said.
The incident in Baquba took place at noon when a suicide bomber detonated
explosives at a checkpoint manned by local Awakening Council members.
Two council members were among the fatalities. Six other members were
wounded.
At least 35 female suicide bombers detonated themselves in 2008. Half of
them did so in the Diyala province, where Baquba is located.
