Today’s blast occurred near eastern Baghdad’s well-known Withaq Square, a Christian neighbourhood in the Alwiyah residential area, destroying at least three cars and damaging several buildings.

But insurgents continued to wreak havoc in the Iraqi capital despite the crackdown centring on the Abu Ghraib area targeting militants though responsible for multiple attacks on the US-detention facility there and the road linking the city to the international airport.

Residents called police about a suspicious-looking car parked opposite the Dijlah Junior High School for Girls in Alwiyah. As bomb disposal experts approached the vehicle, it exploded and killed six bystanders, said police Captain Husham Ismael.

Three civilians and one policeman were also injured but none of the school’s students were believed to be among the casualties.
