Seven killed as bombers target morgueArticle from: Agence France-PresseFont size: Decrease Increase Email article: Email Print article: Print From correspondents in Baghdad September 18, 2007 11:40pm SEVEN people were killed when a car bomb and a mortar shell blasted Baghdad's main morgue as families were engaged in the grim search for the bodies of missing relatives. The bomb detonated in the car park of the morgue in central Baghdad's Babel Muaddam neighbourhood about 9.30am (3.30pm AEST), and was followed minutes later by a mortar shell exploding, security officials said. The double assault came at a time of day when the morgue, behind the health ministry building, fills with anguished people who come to view bodies of victims of the relentless sectarian violence ravaging the Iraqi capital. Police scour the streets of Baghdad early each morning for bodies that have been dumped during the night. Most are found blindfolded, hands tied behind their backs and bullets in their heads. Many also shows signs of torture. In a later attack, six people were killed and 15 were wounded when a car bomb exploded in a busy street in northeastern Ur neighbourhood, security and medical officials said. Ur is a flashpoint district lying between the Shiite militia bastion of Sadr City and Adhamiyah, a dangerous Sunni neighbourhood. Insurgents have stepped up attacks in and around Baghdad since the start of Ramadan, a period of increased violence in Iraq since the US-led 2003 March invasion. The latest deaths bring to 66 the number of people killed in bombings, shootings and mortar attacks across the country since the start in Iraq last Thursday of the Muslim fasting month, which al-Qaeda warned would be bloody. news.com.au
