BAGHDAD – Bombs planted on two minibuses killed at least 11 people and wounded 12 near the usually quiet southern town of Kut yesterday, officials said.
Iraq has been reeling from a series of bombings, mainly in and around the capital Baghdad, the troubled northern city of Mosul and western Anbar province, since US troops pulled out of city centres in June.
Police sources in Baghdad earlier said 20 people had been killed in Kut and 10 wounded, but the head of the local council of Wasit province put the toll at 11 killed and 12 wounded. – (Reuters)
