Car Bomb Blast Kills 3 on Eve of Iraq Elections
Saturday, March 06, 2010
BAGHDAD — A car bomb exploded near a
bus for pilgrims in the Shiite holy city of Najaf on Saturday, killing
at least three people, including two Iranians, on the eve of key
national elections, officials said.
Blasts
in other Iraqi cities have killed dozens this week, underscoring
warnings that insurgents would attempt to disrupt the vote with
violence.
A group of Iranian and Iraqi
pilgrims were waiting to board the bus after visiting a famous shrine
when the blast occurred about 100 yards away, a witness said.
"I
was shocked by the scene, pools of blood and people lying on the ground
soaked with their own blood," said Ahmed Baqir, 21, an Iraqi translator
who was with the Iranian pilgrims.
