Suicide bomb kills 11 in Baghdad | |
(20 minutes later) | |
Eleven people have been killed in a suicide bomb attack on a minibus in northern Baghdad, officials have said. | |
At least 18 others were injured in the attack which took place in Shaab, a majority Shia area, at 1230 local time (0930 GMT). | |
The bus was passing a church at the time of the explosion, police said. | |
The attack follows two suicide bombings on Sunday which killed 35 people and wounded 60 at a police commando recruiting centre in western Baghdad. | |
Earlier on Monday, a car bomb exploded on the edge of the heavily-fortified Green Zone, damaging 13 cars and injuring one civilian. | |
A traffic police brigadier was also killed by gunmen in the north of the city, while a motorcade carrying an Iraqi official came under attack as it drove through the western district of Mansur. At least two bodyguards were killed in that attack, officials said. |
