Suicide bombers kill 1

Two suicide car bombs exploded in Baghdad today killing one soldier and injuring 19. One suicide car bombing occured in western Baghdad in the Bakriyah region.
As people rushed to the scene to help the injured, a roadside bomb went off wounding another three.

Earlier in the day, a convoy of Iraq’s minister of provincial affairs was attacked by a car bomb as well, wounding four of his bodyguards. The minister, Saad Naif Al-Hardan, was not at the scene as the attack took place, as the convoy was en route to him at the time of the attack. Iraqi police believe that those responsible for the attack most likely were targeting Al Hardan, thinking that he was in the convoy.
