Ten killed in roadside bomb in Baghdad: police

BAGHDAD (Reuters) – At least 10 people were killed on
Thursday in a roadside bomb in Al-Amin, an eastern district of
Baghdad, a police source said. A further 14 were wounded.

The casualties appeared to be civilians, rather than
members of the security forces, the police source said.

Violence in Iraq’s capital and other restive areas is
claiming around 100 lives every day. Thursday’s attack followed
a bomb blast in Baghdad on Wednesday evening next to a soccer
pitch which killed 12 and wounded 13, most of whom were players
and spectators.
