[ADN Kronos] A bomb attack in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, killed at least six and injured another 20 early on Monday. According to media reports, the bus targeted a crowded minibus during morning peak hour in the Shia enclave of Abu Dshir in the mainly Sunni area of Dora on the south side of the city. "Six persons were killed and 20 others were wounded when a bomb exploded near a vehicle in Abu Dshir area, southern Baghdad," the source told the news agency, Voices of Iraq.
The blast took place three weeks before the 30 June deadline set for US troops to withdraw from Iraqi urban areas.
Media reports said the explosion left a crater at the entrance of the bus station where commuters were waiting.
