Some more of the George W Bush legacy
From McClatchy:
A car bomb in central Baghdad killed at least nine people Thursday and wounded at least 20, Iraqi police said.
The explosion occurred on al Khayam Street in the Bab al Sharji neighborhood, not far from a bridge leading to the Green Zone. It was less than three miles away from where a double bombing killed 70 a week ago.
The bombings bookend a week that saw an increase in violence for U.S. soldiers and Iraqi civilians.
Since Monday, 12 U.S. soldiers have been killed in suicide bombings, roadside bombings or rocket attacks. The latest deaths came Wednesday when three soldiers were killed by rockets that hit their base near Nasiriyah, southeast of Baghdad.
Also on Thursday, the body of a Catholic Chaldean archbishop was found near Mosul. Archbishop Paulos Faraj Rahho was kidnapped Feb. 29 in Mosul as he left Mass. The three people with him were killed.
