Bus blast kills six, wounds 15
Baghdad: A bomb on a small bus killed at least six people and wounded 15 on Sunday in Karrada, a central district of Baghdad, police said.
The bus was en route from the Bab al-Sharqi area to the central commercial district of Karradah when the explosion occurred at around 80 a.m., shattering the windows of nearby stores.
The bomb was left in a bag by somebody who got off the bus, police said, giving the casualty toll.
It was not clear how many people were aboard the bus, which was gutted and burning fiercely after the blast.
Sirens wailed as police and ambulances rushed to the area, and rescue workers pulled the badly burned bodies from the charred bus.
About 45 minutes later, a parked car bomb exploded outside a restaurant in eastern Baghdad, killing one civilian and wounding five people, according to police.
