Seven Reported Killed By Bombing In Baghdad's Sadr City

May 13, 2010

At least seven people have been reported killed and more than 20 others injured in a car bomb explosion in the mainly Shi'ite Sadr City area of the Iraqi capital, Baghdad.

The blast is reported to have occurred late on May 12 near a cafe in an area popular with young people.

The blast came after more than 110 people were reported killed and hundreds of others injured in Iraq on May 10 in a series of attacks suspected of being launched by Sunni Al-Qaeda militants.

The attacks follow the reported death of the leader of Al-Qaeda in Iraq in a joint U.S.-Iraqi operation in April.
