Four killed, 35 injured in Iraq blast

Baghdad, July 11: Four civilians were killed and 35 injured Saturday when a parked car bomb exploded in a residential district of the northern Iraqi city of Mosul, police sources said.

Mosul, 500 km north of Baghdad, has been the scene of near-daily bomb attacks since US troops withdrew from Iraqi cities and towns June 30.

On Thursday, 35 people were killed and 63 injured – most of them women and children – in two consecutive suicide bombings in Mosul.
