Deadly car bomb attack rocks Baghdad

BBC – About two dozen people have been killed and scores injured in a suspected al-Qaeda bomb attack in Iraq’s capital, Baghdad, officials say. A suicide bomber reportedly detonated an explosives-packed car outside the offices of the Shia Waqf (Endowment), which looks after Shia religious sites. More than 60 people were injured by the blast in the Bab al-Muadham area. Violence has fallen in Iraq in recent years, but militants still frequently attack security forces and civilians. The latest attack comes less than a week after a series of bombings killed 17 people in Baghdad. Security officials say it appears to have been carried out by al-Qaeda’s Iraqi wing, a Sunni organisation. They say the explosives-rigged car was parked in a car park near the Shia Waqf building.
