Car bomb kills 8 in southwest Baghdad

The explosion occurred around 8:00 p.m. local time (1700 GMT) in the al-Shurta al-Rabaa area of southwestern Baghdad. It is the latest in a spree of attacks in and around the Iraqi capital that have killed tens of people. On Wednesday, two car bomb explosions in a predominantly Shia neighborhood of Baghdad left at least five people killed and 10 others injured.

Iraqi and US officials blame al-Qaeda in Iraq for most big bombings in the country, including an attack on a revered Shia shrine in Samarra in February 2006 that sparked a wave of sectarian carnage that nearly tipped Iraq into an all-out civil war.

Al-Qaeda in Iraq was headed by the Jordanian militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi until he was killed in a US air strike in June 2006. His successor, Masri, was Zarqawi’s close associate, and has a US bounty of $ 5 million (2.6 million pounds) on his head.
