Iraq Watch: September 30, 2005
BAGHDAD, Iraq - The nations majority Shiite population was directly targeted once again for a second straight day on Friday, the day of traditional Islamic prayer or Jumu'ah.
In Hillah, a largely Shiite town 60 miles south of Baghdad, a remotely detonated car bomb exploded near a crowded outdoor market killing at least 10 people and injuring 41 more.
Yesterday, a nearly simultaneous triple suicide car bomb attack north of the capital in Balad killed 102 Iraqis, including 13 children and four women, and wounded another 150.
AFP reports that the militant group al-Qaida in Iraq, headed by Jordanian-born terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, claimed responsibility for Thursday's attack in Balad.
Also, in the southern city of Basra, four Iraqi policemen were killed late yesterday when their convoy was ambushed by armed insurgents.
