BAGHDAD, Aug. 7 (Xinhua) -- A bomb went off inside a building in an
eastern Baghdad district followed by a car bomb explosion on Monday and
initial reports showed that three policemen were wounded, an Iraqi Interior
Ministry source told Xinhua.
An explosive charge detonated at around 12:20 p.m. (0812 GMT) inside an
Internet Cafe near the Sakhrah Intersection in Palestine Street, the source
said on condition of anonymity.
Minutes later, an explosive-packed car parking in front of the Cafe went
off, causing heavy damages to the building and nearby shops, the source
added.
"Initial reports said that three policemen were wounded, but the
casualties might rise further as rescuers are evacuating other people
wounded or killed in the attacks," the source said.
