Twin car bombing in western Baghdad kills 13...(28/09/08)


BAGHDAD - Two car bombs killed 13 people and wounded 37 doing evening shopping Sunday in mainly Shiite Muslim areas of western Baghdad, Iraqi officials said.

The blasts occurred about 5:30 p.m., shortly before the daily meal that breaks the dawn-to-dusk fast observed by Muslims during the holy month of Ramadan.

Car bombs and other attacks have frequently targeted Iraqis during Ramadan as insurgents try to chip away at recent security gains that have driven violence to its lowest levels in more than four years.
