Bomb kills 11 people in Iraqi sweet shop
January 29, 2006, 18:45


A bomb killed 11 people in a shop selling sweets in the town of Iskindiraya south of Baghdad overnight, Iraqi police said today. The bomb, which had been planted just outside the shop, also wounded five people, the police said.

They said the blast occurred in a mostly Shi'ite Muslim area of the town. Sunni Arab insurgents are waging a campaign of bombings and shootings in a bid to topple Iraq's Shi'ite-led government.

Meanwhile, two car bombs targeting churches in the northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk killed at least four people today, a police official said. Burham Taher, a police official, said the blasts at two churches also wounded nine people.

In August, a wave of bomb attacks at churches killed 11 people. Iraq's Christian community, which makes up about 3% of the population, has become increasingly nervous over violence and Islamic militant attacks on Christian-owned liquor shops. - Reuters
