Incoming; Car bomb kills four, wounds 33 in crowded Baghdad market

[LynnTheDem]

Four people were killed and at least 33 wounded when a car bomb ripped into a crowded market in southeastern Baghdad, interior ministry and medical sources said.

The blast occurred in the capital's Baghdad Jadida district, a predominantly Shiite area that hosts the multi-ethnic market, an interior ministry source said.

Violence continued elsewhere on the ground, a year after the handover of sovereignty by the US-led occupation forces which ousted Saddam Hussein in April 2003.

Five Iraqis died in two separate attacks: a drive-by shooting in southern Baghdad and a car bomb between the town of Baiji and the oil city of Kirkuk to the north.

An Iraqi was killed and his wife wounded when two homemade bombs exploded as they drove past a local council hall.

In addition to those killed in the Baghdad market, seven Iraqis were wounded when a rocket slammed into a restaurant in the city center near a busy bus and taxi station.

over there, however, these are just the last throes, so big deal.
