Another bomb attack, meant to intimidate the locals, claims the lives of innocent civilians. Things are improving, but there is always going to be some violence in this part of the world.
At least eight die in Baghdad blasts
Bombs hidden in plastic bags near a falafel stand went off at a market in a mainly Shiite area in Baghdad on Sunday, killing at least eight civilians and injuring 21, Iraqi officials said. According to the AP, the bags packed with explosives were left among a pile of garbage and blew up shortly before 8 p.m. as the district was crowded with people enjoying the evening.
Several nearby stores were also damaged, according to police and hospital officials. Five children were among the wounded, they said.
