9 killed, 27 injured in Iraq car bombings

PanARMENIAN.Net - Two car bombings in Iraq have killed nine people and wounded 27, a day after dozens were killed in a spate of attacks across the country, Belfast Telegraph said.

One of the blasts happened outside a car repair shop in Aziziyah town, 35 miles south-east of Baghdad.

Earlier, a bomb targeting an army patrol north of Baghdad killed two soldiers.

The bombings came a day after a string of attacks across Iraq killed 55 people.

The assault bore the hallmarks of al-Qaida and appeared aimed at sowing fear days before the first elections since U.S. troops withdrew.
