Deadly attack on Baghdad morgue | ||
The bombing was immediately followed by a number of mortar attacks, Iraqi police said. The attacks occurred in the car park at the ministry of health complex in the Bab al-Muaddam area in the centre of the capital. Reports say the car park was crowded with people waiting to get into the morgue to identify their relatives. In east Baghdad, two people died when a car bomb was detonated near a police patrol. Al-Qaeda in Iraq warned recently that it would carry out a series of attacks over the holy month of Ramadan, which started last week. Also on Tuesday, the US military said it had killed three suspected militants in raids targeting al-Qaeda in Arab Jabour, west of Baghdad. | ||
