Various news organizations provide daily roundups of violence in Iraq.
Today we look at the McClatchy roundup for Saturday's violence in
Baghdad. First, their disclaimer:
The daily Iraq violence report is compiled by McClatchy Newspapers
Special Correspondents in Baghdad from police, military and medical
reports. This is not a comprehensive list of all violence in Iraq, much
of which goes unreported. It's posted without editing as transmitted to
McClatchy's Washington Bureau.
And here is their roundup for Saturday, September 13, 2008:
- A roadside bomb targeted a police patrol in Dora neighborhood (south Baghdad). Four policemen were wounded.
-
Around 11:30 am, a roadside bomb targeted a national police patrol in
Karrada neighborhood in central Baghdad. Three people were killed
including one policeman and five others were wounded (including 2
policemen).
- Around noon, a bomb planted under a civilian car
detonated near Adela Khatoon mosque in Bab Al-Mutham (north Baghdad).
Four people were injured.
-Around 6:30 pm, a roadside bomb
detonated near Mulla Huish mosque in Jamia’a neighborhood(west
Baghdad). Three people were wounded.
- Around 8 pm, a bomb
planted under a car in Adhemiyah neighborhood (north Baghdad) detonated
when it stopped near a check point for the Sahwa members. Six people
were wounded ( three Sahwa members and three civilians).
- Police
found two dead bodies in Baghdad neighborhoods today: One was found in
Tobchi in western Baghdad in Karkh bank. While one was found in Binouk
neighborhood in eastern Baghdad in Risafa bank.
Five bombs injured 22 people and killed three. Two dead bodies turned up on opposite ends of town. In just about any other city on earth this would be an exceptional day. In Baghdad, it fits nicely into the "violence is down" headlines and makes no headlines itself.
